Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and roll-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. Do not operate machine

on slopes in excess of 10 degrees. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not

mow it. Always mow up and down the face of slopes, never mow across the face of slopes.
