Slope Operation—Safety Precautions
1. Do not mow on slopes greater than 15
degrees.
2. Be extremely careful when operating the
mower on a slope. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
3. Do not stop or start suddenly when going
uphill.
4. Slow down and use caution when making
turns and when changing direction on slopes.
5. Do not operate a riding mower near steep
slopes, ditches, or water. Use a walk behind
mower or a hand trimmer for these areas.
6. Roll bar should be raised and locked with seat
belt bucked before engine is turned on.
7. Should it be necessary to lower the roll bar,
the seat belt should not be used.
8. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and drive slowly and cautiously off the slope.
9. Use extreme care with attachments as they
can change the stability of the mower and
cause loss of control.
10. Slow down and drive extra carefully on
hillsides. Be sure to drive in the
recommended direction on hillsides. Turf
conditions can affect the machine's stability.
11. The parking brake may not hold the mower if
parked on a slope.
