Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control
and
tipover accidents,
which can result in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back
up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

Mow up and down sIopes, 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 obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations
for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machir.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and g;aduaL Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope, if tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
