Page 10: Slope Operation
All slopes require extra caution. If you feel unsure on any slope, do not mow it! Mow up and down the slope with your Dixon ZTR — never across. 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. -
