II. 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. Ifyou

cannot back upthe slope or ifyou feel

uneasy on it, do notmow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts, orbumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear

so that you will not have to stopor shift

while on the slope.

Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dationsfor wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability ofthe machine.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do notmake sudden

changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stoppingon a slope. If

traction could cause sUding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.
