6. DANGER - TIPPING AND SLIPPING HAZARD:
Mow across slopes, not up and down. Do not operate
on slopes over 15 degrees. Avoid sudden and sharp

based on the EN 836 Stability Test procedure described
in Section 4.2.4.2. The 15 degree "limit of stability"
is equal to 50% of the angle at which machine lift-off
occurred in static tests. Actual dynamic stability may
vary depending on operating conditions.
