Safe
Operation
Practices
Slope Operation:
Do Not:
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents which can result  in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot
back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow
it.
1.  Do not turn on slopes  unless necessary; then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2.  Do not mow near drop-offs,  ditches or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
3.
4.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting  your foot
on the ground.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part  of
this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit
on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15
degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate
this unit on that area or serious injury could result.
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5.  Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction  could
cause sliding.
6.
Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speed-
ing may cause the operator to lose control of the
machine resulting in serious injury or death.

1.
2.
Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction  on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
7.
Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded
dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than
5
degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight
tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose
control. (e.g. tractor may speed up, braking and steer-
ing ability are reduced, attachment  may jack-knife and
cause tractor to overturn).
3.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed
setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while
on the slope. Tires may lose traction on slopes even
though the brakes are functioning properly. Always
keep machine in gear when going down slopes to
take advantage of engine braking action.
Towing:
1.  Tow only with a machine  that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.

ual before attempting to

Failure to comply with

6.  Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front
of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards
which could cause serious injury.
4.  On slopes, the weight of the  towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
5.
6.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
7.   Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blade(s)  and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
