• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the bail switch immediately.
The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.
WARNING:
Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2-1/2’ [0.75
m] every 10’ [3 m]). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.
