SLOPE GAUGE
ATTENTION
: Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can result
in severe injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to
measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area.
•
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 blade/ motor control
handle 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.
ATTENTION
: Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2
1/2 feet [.75 m] every 10 feet [3 m]). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.
MOWING TIPS
NOTE:
A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting
high grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per year, as described in the
Maintenance section.
•
Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the blades or the motor.
These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction, and could cause serious personal
injury to the operator and to others. In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or
wet conditions.
•
Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
•
When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge
of the clippings.
•
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be
approximately 1” to 2” (2.5 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2” to 3 1/4” (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long
during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
