SAFETY
SLOPE OPERATION:
Slopes are a major factor related to
and
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!
D O
•Mow across the slope with your Dixon ZTR - never up or down.
•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
•Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the mower. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly.
•Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the mower.
•Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
