Slope Operation
•
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks,
or water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death,
or drowning.
•
Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding
and a loss of control.
•
Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
•
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 the 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 backward.
•
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 a loss of control.
