Slope Operation
•
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks, or
water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death, or drowning.
•
Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and a
loss of control.
•
Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
•
Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near
drop-offs, ditches, steep banks, or water.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change
the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the
machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill, because the
mower may tip backward.
•
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill.
Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive
wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.
•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope.
If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly off the slope.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
•
Use extreme care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine and cause a
loss of control.
