SLOPE OPERATION

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent (10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. In addition to front and rear weights, use extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catcher.

Mow across the slope, never up and down, use cau- tion when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall acci- dents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

Do

Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Do Not

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embank- ments. The operator could lose footing or balance.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that chil- dren will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

Be alert and turn mower off if children enter the area.

Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.

Never allow children to operate the mower.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
