SLOPE OPERATION
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
that can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes
requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do
not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to mow slopes
greater than 15 degrees.
Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
OPERATION
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your bal-
ance, release the upper blade control lever immediately.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
