Slopes

Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction and/or tip-over could occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes.

Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control.

Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.

To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:

Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.

Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.

Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

Refer to the Slope Chart on page 6 to determine the approximate slope angle to be mowed.

Progressively greater care is needed as the slope increases.

Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Mower may tip backwards.

Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.

Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.

Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

The operating characteristics of the machine will change with the Bagger installed. The stability and traction of the machine will change as the Bagger fills with grass clippings. Use progressively greater care on slopes as the Bagger fills.

Always install and remove the Bagger, including counterweights, as instructed. Failure to do so will cause a reduction in stability or traction. Do not operate the mower with only a portion of the Bagger installed.
