Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in
severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it.
Do:
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise caution when
changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to
slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury
Do Not:
1. Do not mow near drop-os, ditches, or embankments, you could lose your footing
or balance.
2. Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
3. Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
10. Many injuries occur because of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall
caused by slipping or tripping. Do not hold on to the mower if you are falling, release
the handle immediately.
11. Be careful when pulling the machine backward. Look down and behind to avoid
tripping. Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
12. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

fall can cause serious personal injury.
