SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-

of-control and tipover accidents, which

can result in severe injury or death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you cannot

back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on

it, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

o Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

°Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

o Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

o Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

o Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

o Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

° Avoid starting or stopping on a slope, if

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do nottum on slopes unless necessary,

and then, tum slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

°Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could sud-

denly turn over if a wheel is over the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

oDo not mow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding°

oDo not try to stabilizethe machineby

puttingyour foot on the ground.

aDo notuse grasscatcher on steep

slopes.
