Operation

SLOPE OPERATION

•  Mow across the face of slopes, never 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 power lever immediately.

•  Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.

WARNING: 

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents 

that can result in severe injury. Operation 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.
