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°.
