8 Section 2 — important Safe operation practiceS
WARNING! Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and roll-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death.
Do not operate machine on slopes in excess of 15 degrees. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope
or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it. Always mow up and down slopes, never across the face of slopes.
(TOO STEEP)
USE THIS SLOPE GAUGE TO DETERMINE
IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
T
e, proceed as follows:
1. Remov
fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole, building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Alig
n either side of the slope gauge with the obje
ct (See Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
4. A
own 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).
