Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on
it, do not mow it.
Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees •
maximum), not across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other •
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so that you will •
not have to stop while on the slope.
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose •
traction.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. •
If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and •
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
speed or direction, which could cause the
machine to roll over.
Use extra care while operating machine with •
grass catchers or other attachments; they can
affect the stability of the machine.
Do not use on steep slopes.•
WARNING!
When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in illustrations)
shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it
will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your retailer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
WARNING!
Do not drive up or down hills with
slopes greater than 10 degrees. And
do not drive across any slopes.
