WARNING

Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

SLOPE OPERATION (continued):

DO NOT

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. Rapid uphill turns may cause tip-over.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embank- ments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch or if an edge caves in.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

Do not try to stabilize the mower by putting your foot on the ground.

Do not use grass catcher or other attachments on steep slopes. The added weight may change the stability of the mower thus creating the potential for tip-over.
