WARNING!

Steel Green units are equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass- covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the State of California, the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest engine-authorized service dealer or contact the service department.

SLOPE OPERATION

Cease operation if stability is questionable, or if you are unsure of the ability to continue safely.
Keep alert for hidden hazards on the terrain.
Stay away from drop-offs, ditches, and embankments.
Never operate on slope angles greater than 13° with the SG in its basic configuration. The basic configuration is the SG with a hopper and no other attachments. (A 13° slope is a slope that rises 1.4 m (4.6 ft) over a horizontal distance of 6.1 m (20 ft.).
When using attachments, never operate the SG on slope angles greater than 10°. The addition of an extra tank, or other attachments will increase the risk of a rollover. (A 10° slope is a slope that rises 1 m (3.5 ft) over a horizontal distance of 6.1 m (20 ft).
