you may operate the tractor safely.
8"3/*/(
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in
excess of 15 degrees
(a rise of approximately 2-1/2 feet
every 10 feet)
. The tractor could overturn and cause
serious injury.
Mow up and down slopes, NEVER across.
t
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
t
slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects.
t
Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must be made,
t
turn down the slope. Turning up a slope greatly increases
the chance of a roll over.
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary
t
to stop while driving up a slope, start up smoothly and
carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor over
backward.
