dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

.-. tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope. :.

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,

and then, turn slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

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

embankments. The mower could sud-

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.
