more weight to the front drive wheels. Refer to the driver’s
position illustrations in Driver’s Training and Operation
section of this Manual for details.
Accelerate gently. Accelerate slowly. Accelerating too
quickly may result in a loss of traction.
make sharp or quick turns. Making sharp or
quick turns may cause you to lose your balance and be
thrown off the machine or cause a side rollover.
In areas of poor traction, operate the machine as a walk
behind unit.
If you experience a loss of control while driving the machine
on an upward slope, lower the handlebars as you step
backwards off the operator’s platform and apply the brakes.
Once the brakes are applied, take corrective action.
Backing down a slope is a hazardous maneuver which
should be avoided. To avoid backing down a slope; stop the
machine, apply the brakes, step off the Driver’s platform,
drop the handlebars, steer the front of the machine across
the grade, and gradually engage the Throttle/Clutch. If
backing down a slope is unavoidable (such as when
unloading the machine from a trailer), use extreme caution.
Read Safety Manual , Reverse Operation, for
details on backing up.
, the weight and traction is transferred
to the front drive wheels. Avoid driving the machine at this angle
since the machine may tip over.
Recommendations for driving downhill:
Lean backwards as you travel downhill to provide better
balance for you and transfer more weight to the rear
wheels. If necessary, extend your arms and squat down
backwards with arms extended to transfer more weight
further to the rear.
Do not change speed suddenly. accelerate.
Decelerate gently by applying the rear brakes first followed
by the front brakes.
Use extreme caution when turning. make sharp
turns as you may lose your balance and/or be thrown from
the machine or loose control. When making turns, slow
down and make gradual turns.
Zigzag or slalom slowly and gradually downhill traveling
across the grade using both brakes to slow your speed. The
steeper the slope the more gradual the slaloms should be
between the switchbacks.
Avoid any obstacles that could suddenly stop the front
wheels causing a tip over.
If you ever loose control while driving down a slope, let go
of the handles and jump off to the rear, if necessary.
Backing uphill is a risky maneuver which should be avoided.
To avoid backing uphill; stop the machine, apply the brakes,
step off the Driver’s platform, drop the handlebars, steer the
front of the machine across the grade, and gradually
engage the Throttle/Clutch. When backing uphill is
unavoidable, use caution. Read Safety Manual
, Reverse Operation, for details on backing up.
, the
weight distribution between the front drive wheels and the rear
wheels is similar to level ground. However, more weight is
transferred to the lower wheels which may cause the machine to
rollover towards the downhill side. This is the preferred angle for
driving on gentle slopes.
Recommendations for driving across a hillside:
Lean uphill to provide better balance for you and transfer
more weight to the uphill wheels.
change speed suddenly.

Loss-of-control, tip-over or rollover may cause death or serious
injury. This machine has a high center of gravity and turf conditions
affect stability. Slopes are a major factor in loss-of-control, tip-over,
and rollover accidents.
Never shift gears while the machine is moving as this may
cause a rapid slowdown or stop the front wheels causing loss-of
-control or a forward tip over. Instead, bring the machine to a
complete stop before shifting gears.
Study the terrain before beginning work and plan a safe
operating pattern. If the area at issue will not accommodate a
safe operating pattern, attempt to drive the Triumph in
that area.
operate on slopes or inclines where traction and
stability are doubtful.
ride on slopes exceeding . Read
Machine Safety Label and Safe Balance Zone sections for
details on estimating slopes before starting or
operating the Triumph.
Never operate on wet slopes.
Look for holes, ruts, rocks, and other hidden hazards in the work
area before starting work. Uneven terrain can overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide hazards.
operate near drop-offs, ditches, or bodies of water.
Keep a firm grip of the handlebars with both hands at all times.
Slow down and lean into turns for better balance and to transfer
your weight to the inside wheels to prevent loss-of-control, tip
over, or rollover.
Tires with excessively worn tire tread are dangerous on slopes
or inclines. Replace tire (s) with less than of tread
remaining. Only use liquid filled tires supplied by Perma Green.
Maintain tire pressure at . Higher pressures will cause the
tires to lose traction and under inflated tires will cause instability.
attempt to climb over curbs and parking blocks
while operating the Triumph at a high speed as this may cause
a forward tip-over.
To help avoid Loss-of-control, tip over, and rollover, use
extreme caution on inclines, and slopes and:
Use to provide improved traction and a slower
ground speed.
Travel across the grade. Begin at the bottom of the slope
and work your way up.
Avoid traveling straight down a slope. When descending a
slope, zigzag or slalom across the grade gradually
downwards using the brakes to slow the machine.
Lean uphill at all times to provide better balance and to
transfer weight to the uphill tires.
Slow down and avoid sharp turns and sudden starts and
stops.
Reduce the amount of granular and liquid products carried.
Apply rear brakes first and then front brakes.
Operate the Triumph as a walk-behind unit in situations where loss
-of-control, tip-over, or rollover is possible.
the drive tires have
reduced traction and there is greater risk that the machine could tip
backwards.
Recommendations for driving up an incline or slope:
Lean forwards to provide better balance and to transfer
11
make sharp turns as you may lose your
balance and be thrown off the machine or loose control.
When making turns, slow down and make gradual turns.
The machine also has a tendency to rollover when
performing this maneuver.
Avoid making downhill turns as the machine will accelerate
through the turn making it more difficult for you to keep your
balance and control over the machine so as to prevent
rollover.
Avoid any obstacles that could suddenly pitch the front
uphill wheel upwards causing a rollover towards the
downhill side.
If you ever loose control while driving across a slope let go
of the handles and jump off to the uphill side of the
machine, if necessary.
Backing up across the grade is a maneuver which in should be
avoided. To avoid backing up; stop the machine, apply the brakes,
step off the Driver’s platform, drop the handlebars, steer the front of
the machine in the desired direction, and gradually engage the
Throttle/Clutch. When backing up is unavoidable, use caution.
Read Safety Manual , Reverse Operation, for details
on backing up.
Driving up and down ramps is hazardous. The risks include tip-
over, rollover, loss-of-control, and back-over.
Use extreme caution when driving the Triumph onto and off of a
Transport, (such as a vehicle, carrying rack, or trailer).
When loading and unloading, park the Transport on level
pavement well away from puddles, obstacles, and curbs that
may cause the operator to loose his footing or become
entrapped. Allow adequate room for the ramps to be deployed
and the machine and operator to come straight on or off the
Transport platform and ramps.
To prevent a ramp from slipping out from under the machine,
make sure the ramp is securely fastened to the Transport
platform and the ramp and machine wheels are properly aligned
with each other.
Never unload a Triumph by shifting it into and
allowing it to freewheel backwards down a ramp. Rather, the
driver must start the Triumph while on the Transport platform,
shift the engine into , and inch the machine down the
ramp under power using the brakes as necessary. Read Safety
Manual , Reverse Operation, for required
precautions while operating the Triumph in reverse.
If there is not adequate standing room for the operator on the
Transport platform, the machine should be started while the
operator is standing on the ground.
If an enclosed Transport is used, use extra caution starting and
operating the Triumph inside the enclosure.
Transporting the machine over the road can be hazardous. The
risks include but not limited to traffic accidents, failure of Transport
system, and ejection of the machine from the Transport.
12
If wheel fasteners are not tight, a serious accident may occur.
Check wheel fastener tightness frequently during the first
of operation.
After loosening any wheel fasteners, frequently check their
tightness for the next of operation.
Transporting the Triumph requires a heavy duty Transport capable
of safely carrying a fully loaded Triumph weighing (318
Kg) plus the weight of all materials carried on the transport.
Follow other Transport manufacturer’s precautions and always
use all safety devices provided.
overload or unbalance the Transport or hitch.
Use only heavy duty ramps with a minimum width of
(216 mm) and an anti-slip surface capable of supporting
(455 Kg) or the combined weight of the machine and
driver whichever is greater. The ramp angle must be
or less.
To prevent the machine from being thrown from the transport,
always secure the machine to the Transport’s platform. Use
securing devices provided by the manufacturer or securing
devices each securing device or all securing devices together
must have a minimum load rating of (636 Kg). Elastic
straps and similar devices are to be used.
Check Transport, ramps, hitch, and securing devices each time
they are used.
Check carefully for cracked welds or cracked parts, loose or
missing hardware, excessive wear or damage, or missing or
nonworking safety and securing devices.
When a carrying rack is used, check for damage caused by
the rear edge dragging or bottoming out on the pavement.
This can result in structural failure of the rack, hitch and
vehicle frame or hardware.
