I1.SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe injuryor death. All slopes

require extra caution. If you cannotbeck up

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not

mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

tirebs,etc.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overture the

machine. Ta/I grass can hide obstacles.

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stabilityof the machine.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stoppingon a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

DO NOT:

• Do not turn on slopes unless neces-

sary, and then, turn slowlyand gradu-

ally downhill, if possible.

•Do notmow near drepoffs, ditches, or

embankments, 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 machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.
