WARNING
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet). A riding mower could overturn and cause serious injury. If operating a walk-behind mower on such a slope, it is extremely difficult to maintain your footing and you could slip, resulting in serious injury.
Operate ZERO-TURN mowers across the face of slopes, never up and down slopes. Operate WALK-BEHIND mowers across the face of slopes, never up and down slopes.
