II. SLOPE
OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor
related to slip
and fall accidents which can result in
severe injury. All slopes require extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do
not mow it.
DO:
• Mow across the face of slopes: never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.
Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches
or
embankments.
The operator could lose
footing
or balance.
• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
footing
could cause slipping.

and under the watchful care of another
responsible
adult.

enter the area.
