SLOPE GAUGE
WARNING:
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.
• Mow across the face of a slope, and never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects,
or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel
like you are losing your balance, release the
bail handle immediately. The blade will stop
rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments, because you could lose your
footing or balance.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of
greater than 15°, as determined using the
slope gauge.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable
footing can cause slipping.
