Slope Gauge (Back Cover)
WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which
can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on the slope, do not mow it. Do not mow on slopes greater than
15° (25%). Do not mow up or down slopes, only mow across slopes.
USE THE SLOPE GAUGE ON THE BACK COVER AS SHOWN TO DETERMINE IF A SLOPE IS TOO
STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Open manual to the back cover and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole, building, fence, tree, etc.).
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object.
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the slope.
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for safe operation.
