Slope Operation
WARNING! Maximum recommended operating
angle of mower with a collection system is 10°.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over
accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you
feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
DO
• Mow up and down slopes (10° Max.), not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Choose a low speed so that you will not have
to stop while on the slope.
• Use extra care with collection systems or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine.
• Keep all movement on the slopes
slow
and
gradual.
Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight
down the
slope.
DO NOT
• Do
not
turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.
• Do
not
mow near drop-o
ff
, ditches, or embankments. The
mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge
of a cli
ff
or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
• Do
not
mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
• Do
not
try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the
ground.
Service
• Collection system components are subject to wear, damage,
and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow
objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and
replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when
necessary.
• The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects
thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating the
mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. A wide vision
safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses are
recommended.

and keep equipment in good condition.

operation.
