spillage before operating or stodng the mach=ne. Allow machine to cool before storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of- control and tipover accidents, which can re- sult 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, not across.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts,or bumps. Uneven terrain could overtum the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

Follow the manufacturer'srecommenda- tions for wheel weights or counter- weights to improve stability.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stabilityof the machine.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stoppingon a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straightdown the

slope.

DO NOT:

Do not tum on slopes unless necessary, and then, ham slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

Do not mow near drop-offs,ditches,orembankments. The mower could suddenly tum over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliffor ditch,or if an edge caves in.

Do notmow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

Do not try to stabilizethe machine by putting your foot on the ground.
