Operation on Slopes
Never mow on a sloped surface greater than 10 degrees (17%
grade), since this can cause the lawn tractor to tip over. Use a lower
gear for better control and avoid sudden stops or starts when on a
sloped surface. If you are unsure of the grade, obtain an inclinometer
from a hardware store to measure the area in question.
