WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.
If you feel uneasy on the slope, do not mow it. Do not mow on slopes greater than 15 degrees (25%). Only mow across slopes, never
mow up and down slopes.
SLOPE GAUGE
(OK)
(TOO STEEP)
USE THIS SLOPE GAUGE TO DETERMINE
IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Remove this page and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole, building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object (See Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the slope (See Figure 1 and Figure 2).
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for safe operation (See Figure 2 above).
