Slope Operation
Slopes are major factors related to slip and fall accidents,
which can result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes
requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
dethatch it.
• Dethatch across the face of slopes; never dethatch slopes
following an up and down traverse. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden
objects. These may cause an unexpected slip or fall.
• Do not dethatch on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
• Do not dethatch near drop offs, ditches or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.

C
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the dethatching activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the dethatching area and under
the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Stay alert and turn the dethatcher off if a child enters the
area.
• Never let children operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees or other objects that may block your view of a child.
