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 maxium),
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.
