WARNING
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately 2-1/2
feet every 10 feet). A riding mower could overturn and cause serious injury. If operating a
walk-behind mower on such a slope, it is extremely difficult to maintain your footing and
you could slip, resulting in serious injury.
Operate RIDING mowers up and down slopes, never across the face of slopes.
Operate WALK-BEHIND mowers across the face of slopes, never up and down slopes.
