5. SLOPE OPERATION
1. Add wheel ballast for stability
when operating on slopes. Pay
extreme care when operating on
slopes to maintain stability.
2. Use extreme caution and reduce
ground speed on slopes.
3. Do not stop, start, otherwise
change directions suddenly on
slopes. If the Ride on Mower tires
lose traction, stop mower and
proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
Slopes are a major factor lead-
ing to loss of control and tip over
accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If slopes
are greater than 15 degrees, do
not operate the mower on that
area otherwise serious injury or
death could result.

WARNING
4. To prevent loss of control and
overturning the Ride on Mower,
always mow up and down slopes,

steep slopes.

duced traction could cause sliding

fore transporting the mower.
