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 movement on the slopes slow and gradual. •
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction, which could cause 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.•
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot •
on the ground.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or •
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge
caves in.
