•
Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer
near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks, or water.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc. from mowing area. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks dips, and rises that
change the operating angle, as rough terrain could
overturn the machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because
the mower may tip backwards.
•
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels may
cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking
and steering.
•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a
slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly off the slope.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for
wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
•
Use extreme care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of the
machine and cause loss of control.
