Husqvarna LOGTH2448T Manuel D’Utilisation

3

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of 
control and tip-over accidents, which can 
result in severe injury or death.  Opera-
tion on all slopes requires extra caution.  If 
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel 
uneasy on it, do not mow it.
•     Mow up and down slopes, not across.
•     Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or 

other hidden objects.  Uneven terrain 
could overturn the machine.  Tall grass 
can hide obstacles.

•     Choose a low ground speed so that 

you will not have to stop or shift while 
on the slope.

•     Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may 

lose traction.

      Always keep the machine in gear when 

going down slopes. Do not shift to 
neutral and coast downhill.

•     Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on 

a slope.  If the tires lose traction,  dis-
engage the blades and proceed slowly 
straight down the slope.

•     Keep all movement on the slopes slow 

and gradual.  Do not make sudden 
changes in speed or direction, which 
could cause the machine to roll over.

•     Use extra care while operating ma-

chine with grass catchers or other at-
tachments; they can affect the stability 
of the machine. Do no use on steep 
slopes.

•     Do not  try to stabilize the machine by 

putting your foot on the ground.

•     Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, 

or embankments.  The machine could 
suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the 
edge or if the edge caves in.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator 
is not alert to the presence of children. 

 

Children are often attracted to the machine 
and the mowing activity.  Never assume 
that children will remain where you last 
saw them.
•     Keep children out of the mowing area 

and in the watchful care of a respon-
sible adult other than the operator.

•     Be alert and turn machine off if a child 

enters the area.

•     Before and while backing, look behind 

and down for small children. 

•     Never carry children, even with the 

blades shut off.  They may fall off and 
be seriously injured or interfere with 
safe machine operation. Children who 
have been given rides in the past may 
suddenly appear in the mowing area 
for another ride and be run over or 
backed over by the machine.

•     Never allow children to operate the 

machine.

•     Use extra care when approaching blind 

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects 
that may block your view of a child.

•     Tow only with a machine that has a 

hitch designed for towing. Do not at-
tach towed equipment except at the 
hitch point.

•     Follow the manufacturer’s recom-

mendation for weight limits for towed 
equipment and towing on slopes.

•     Never allow children or others in or on 

towed equipment.

•     On slopes, the weight of the towed 

equipment may cause loss of traction 
and loss of control.

•     Travel slowly and allow extra distance 

to stop. 

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property 
damage, use extreme care in handling 
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely fl ammable 
and the vapors are explosive.
•     Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, 

and other sources of ignition.

•     Use only approved gasoline container.
•     Never remove gas cap or add fuel with 

the engine running. Allow engine to 
cool before refueling.

•     Never fuel the machine indoors.
•     Never store the machine or fuel con-

tainer where there is an open fl ame, 
spark, or pilot light such as on a water 
heater or other appliances.

•     Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle 

or on a truck or trailer bed with plastic 
liner. Always place containers on the 
ground away from your vehicle when 
fi lling.
