Safety
• Do Not operate the mower under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
• Use extreme care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Slope Operation
Use Extreme caution when mowing and/or turning
on slopes as loss of traction and/or tip-over could
occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation
on slopes.
DANGER
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping over
edges, ditches, steep banks, or water can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death or drowning.
• Do Not mow slopes when grass is wet.
• Do Not mow near drop-offs or near water.
• Do Not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• See inside the back cover to determine the
approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.
• Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer
near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water.

1. Safe Zone-Use the mower here on slopes less than 15
degrees
2. Danger Zone-Use a walk behind mower and/or hand
trimmer on slopes greater than 15 degrees, near
drop-offs and water.
3. Water
• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips and rises that
change the operating angle, as rough terrain could
overturn the machine.
• Avoid sudden starts when mowing downhill.
Mower may tip forwards.
• Be aware that operating on wet grass, across steep
slopes or downhill may cause the mower to lose
traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may
result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering.
• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a
slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly off the slope.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
wheel weights or counter weights to improve
stability.
• Use extreme care with attachments. These can
change the stability of the machine and cause loss
of control.
Note:
A 2–post foldable ROPS (Rollover Protection
System) is available for the Navigator as an accessory.
A ROPS is recommended if you will be mowing next
to drop-offs, near water, or on steep banks which
could result in a rollover. Contact an Authorized
Exmark Service Dealer for more details.
