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.

limbs, etc.

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

that you will not have to stop o[ shift

while on the slope.

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.

embankments. The mower could sud-

putting your foot on the ground.
