HILLSIDE OPERATION _____________________________________________________
The mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions; however, use
caution when operating on slopes, especially over rough
terrain or when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces
traction and steering control.
1.
Always mow with the engine at full throttle but reduce
forward speed to maintain the proper cutting
frequency.
2.
If the mower tends to slide or the tires begin to
“mark” the turf, angle mower into a less steep grade
until traction is regained or tire marking stops.
3.
If mower continues to slide or mark the turf, the
grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make
another attempt to climb, back down slowly.
4.
When descending a steep slope, always lower
implements to the ground to reduce the risk of
mower overturning.
Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum traction.
Keep tires inflated to 14 psi (1 BAR).

WARNING
To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest
method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel
up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not
across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary
turns, travel at reduced speeds, and stay alert for
hidden hazards.
CAUTION
Do not operate this mower on slopes greater than 15°
or 26.8% grade.
