HILLSIDE OPERATION _____________________________________________________
The mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions; however, use
caution when operating on slopes, especially over rough
terrain or when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces
traction and steering control.
1. If the mower tends to slide or the tires begin to “mark”
the turf, angle mower into a less steep grade until
traction is regained or tire marking stops.
2. If mower continues to slide or mark the turf, the
grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make
another attempt to climb, and back down slowly.
Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum traction.
Front - 10-12 psi (0.69-0.83 BAR)
Rear - 8-10 psi (0.55-0.69 BAR)

CAUTION
To prevent tipping or loss of control, travel at reduced
speed when making turns.
!
WARNING
To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest
method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel
up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not
across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary
turns, travel at reduced speeds, and stay alert for
hidden hazards and drop offs.
CAUTION
Do not operate this mower on side slopes greater than
15° (26.8% grade).
