Operation On Slopes - Honda HA4120H48A Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Operation on Slopes
Never mow on a sloped surface greater than 10 degrees (17% grade),
since this can cause the lawn tractor to tip over. Use a slower speed for
better control, and avoid sudden stops or starts when on a sloped
surface. If you are unsure of the grade, obtain an inclinometer from a
hardware store to measure the area in question.
10 DEGREES
(17% GRADE)
MAXIMUM
Always mow up and down a sloped surface, never across. Avoid sharp
turns when operating the lawn tractor on a sloped surface. When
mowing on slopes, empty the optional grass bags when they are half
full.
Never operate the shift lever when mowing on a sloped surface.
Never mow a sloped surface when the grass is wet.
Avoid stopping on a sloped surface. If it becomes necessary to stop on
a sloped surface, use the following special procedure when restarting
the lawn tractor.
