uphill.
4. Slow down and use caution when making turns
and when changing direction on slopes.

slopes, ditches, or water. Use a walk behind
mower or a hand trimmer for these areas.

belt bucked even before engine is turned on.

seat belt should not be used.

drive slowly and cautiously off the slope.

change the stability of the mower and cause
loss of control.

hillsides. Be sure to drive in the recommended
direction on hillsides. Turf conditions can
affect the machine's stability.
