SLOPE

OPERATION

1.

Slopes

are

a

major

factor

in

loss-of-

control

and

tip-over

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

operate

this

unit

on

the

slope.

2.

Remove

obstacles

such

as

rocks,

tree

limbs,

etc.

3.

Watch

for

holes,

ruts,

or

bumps.

Uneven

terrain

could

overturn

the

machine.

Tall

grass

can

hide

obstacles.

4.

Always

mow

up

and

down

the

face

of

slopes,

never

across.

Do

not

mow

near

drop-offs,

ditches

or

embankments.

The

unit

could

suddenly

overturn

if

a

wheel

goes

over

the

edge

of

a

cliff

or

ditch,

or

if

an

edge

caves

in.

5.

When

using

attachments

on

slopes,

use

wheel

weights,

as

indicated

in

Section

2,

“Attachments

and

Kits”,

for

extra

traction

and

correct

balance.

6.

Do

not

turn

on

slopes

unless

necessary,

and

then,

turn

off

attachment

drive

and

turn

slowly

and

gradually

downhill.

7.

Do

not

start

or

stop

suddenly

when

going

up

or

down

a

slope.

Keep

all

movement

on

slopes

slow

and

gradual.

Do

not

make

sudden

changes

in

speed

or

direction.

If

the

unit

has

a

gear

drive

transmission,

choose

a

low

gear

so

that

you

will

not

have

to

stop

or

shift

while

on

the

slope.

6

Safety

(continued)

8.

If

unit

is

unable

to

continue

moving

uphill,

disengage

attachment/PTO

drive,

check

area

on

ground

immediately

behind

unit,

watch

area

to

rear

and

proceed

backward

slowly.

9.

Do

not

operate

unit

on

steep

slopes

where

there

is

a

risk

of

an

overturn.

Do

not

mow

slopes

with

an

incline

of

more

than

10°.

Use

slope

gauge

included

with

your

unit

as

an

aid

in

determining

the

incline

of

a

slope.

10.

Use

extra

care

with

grass

catchers

or

other

attachments.

These

can

change

the

stability

of

unit.

11.

Do

not

operate

unit

on

wet

grass.

Reduced

traction

could

cause

sliding.

12.

Do

not

try

to

stabilize

unit

by

putting

your

foot

to

the

ground.

13.

Do

not

park

unit

on

a

hill.
