• Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children._
• Mow up and down slopes (15 ° Max), not across..
- Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
- Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacIes._
Use slow speed Choose a low gear so that you wilJ not have
to stop or shift while on the slope
. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down
the slope.
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift
into reverse and back down slowly
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
