SLOPE GAUGE & OPERATION
17
WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which
can result in severe injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included
as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area.
WARNING: Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of
approximately 2 1/2’ [.75 m] every 10’ [3 m]). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up
and down.
1. Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on a slope.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
3. Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the
blade/motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or
balance.
5. Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.
6. Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.
