Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. Operation on slopes requires
much more caution. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
• Mow up and down
slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not
across.
• Watch for holes,
ruts, bumps, rocks,
or other hidden
objects. Uneven
terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not
have to stop while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
• Keep movement
on the slopes slow
and gradual. Do
not make sudden
changes in speed
or direction, which
could cause
machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating machine with
grass catchers or other attachments; the
• Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a
foot on the ground.
