WARNING
Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes, slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down).

Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees.

Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns, starts or stops on a slope.
NEVER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.
DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate the machine.
Be cautious when loading and unloading onto trailers or trucks.
Use only a full width ramp.
Ramp angle should be no more than 15 degrees.
Back up the ramp and drive down forward.
This mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.
