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 RIDING mowers up and down slopes, never across the face of slopes.

Operate

WALK-BEHIND mowers across the face of slopes, never up and down slopes.
