SLOPE OPERATION:
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-
over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy
DO
•Mow across the slope with your Dixon ZTR - never up or
down.
•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
•Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the mower. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even
though the brakes are functioning properly.
•Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the mower.
•Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
