units, and wait for the reels to stop. Stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch.
• Hills over 15 degrees should be mowed up and down,
not side to side.
• Mowing hills may be dangerous. Hills over 20 degrees
generally should not be mowed unless special
safeguards, skills, and conditions exist.
• For steering control, the cutting units must be lowered
when going down slopes.
• Use the reverse pedal for braking.
• Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way.
• Raise the cutting units when driving from one work
area to another.
