OPERATION
MOWING ON A SLOPE
(See Fig. 12)
■
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that can result in severe injury. Mowing
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do
not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■
Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
■
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be tripped over
or thrown by the blade.
■
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the start/stop bale switch immediately.
■
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
