SLOPE OPERATION:
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-con-
trol and tip-over accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution. If you feel unsure
on any slope, do not mow it!
DO
Mow across the slope with your Dixon ZTR -- never up
or down. This will decrease the risk of tip-over.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, wires and
other foreign objects that can be thrown by mower
blades.
Watch for holes, ruts, roots and bumps and uneven
terrain that could overturn the mower. Tall grass can
hide such obstacles.
Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even
though the brakes are functioning properly.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
down the slope.

Failure to observe the following instructions
