Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution.
If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall
