Slopes are a majorfactor related to tip-over and roll-over accidents which can resultin severe injury or death. Do not operate machineon slopes
in excess of 15degrees. All slopes requireextra 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, nevermow across the face of slopes.
