II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe
injury.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1.
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
2.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3.
Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident.
4.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.
