Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control or machine tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot reverse up the slope or if you feel unsure, do not mow it.

•Mow across slopes (10 degrees maximum), not up and down.

•Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop while on the slope.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

•Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
