2. Locatea vertical object on or behindthe slope(e.g. a pole, building,fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gaugewith the object (SeeFigure1 and Figure2 ).
4. Adjust gaugeup or down until the left cornertouchesthe slope (SeeFigure1 and Figure2).

Slopes are a major factor relatedto tip-over and roll-overaccidents which can result in severe injury or death. Do not operate machine on slopes
in excess of 15 degrees. All slopes require extra caution. Always mow across the face of slopes, nevermow up and down slopes.
