To cut grass on slopes
WARNING: Read the
warning instructions that
follow before you use the
product.
• To cut grass on slopes
increases the risk that you
can not control the product
and that it overturns. This can
cause injury or death. It is
necessary to cut the grass
carefully on all slopes. If you
cannot reverse up a slope or
if you do not feel safe, do not
cut it.
• Remove stones, branches
and other obstacles.
• Cut up and down the slope,
not from side to side.
• Do not move down a slope
with the cutting deck lifted.
• Do not operate the product on
ground that slopes more than
10°.
• Do not start or stop on a
slope.

• Move smoothly and slowly on
slopes.
• Do not make sudden changes
in speed or direction.
• Do not turn more than
necessary. Turn slowly and
gradually when you move
down a slope. Move at low
speed. Turn the wheel
carefully.
• Look out for and do not move
across furrows, holes and
bumps. There is a higher risk
that the product overturns on
ground that is not flat. Long
grass can hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges,
ditches or banks. The product
can suddenly overturn if a
wheel moves across the edge
of a steep slope or a ditch, or
if an edge gives way. If the
product falls into water, there
is a risk of drowning.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is
slippery, and tires can lose
their grip so that the product
skids.
