SLOPE OPERATION (continued):
DO (continued)
•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly down the slope.
•If front wheels lift off the ground, pull the levers back to
stabilize the mower.
DO NOT
•Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankmnets.
The mower could suddently turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff or ditch or if an edge caves in.
•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
•Do not try to stabilize the mower by putting your foot on
the ground.
•Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.
