WARNINGS
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-
control 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.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Use extreme caution when operating the mower with
attachments to prevent tip-over or roll-over.
If front wheels lift off the ground, pull levers back to stabilize
the mower. Discontinue mowing the slope!
