1.4.4Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction
and/or control could occur. Mow across slopes with walk behind mowers, never
up and down. Loss of control and/or loss of operator’s footing could result in a fall
with an arm or leg getting under t he m ower or engine deck and sustaining serious
injury. Drive slower on slopes. Progressively greater care is needed as t he slope
increases. DO NOT operate on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Watch for
ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises, which can cause errat ic handlebar
movement and loss of footing . Keep away from drop-offs and steep banks. Avoid
sudden starts. Look down and behind you before and while moving backwards.
DO NOT mow slopes when grass is wet - slippery conditions create hazardous
footing, affect steering, and reduce traction and braking. The operat or is
responsible for safe operation on slopes. See inside back cover to determine the
approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.
1.4.5Stop the blades when crossing surfaces other than grass, if mower must be tilted
for transportation, and when transpor t ing the mower to and from the area to be
mowed.
