SECTION 16: SLOPE GAUGE
WARNING: Do not mow on inclines with a slope in excess of
15 degrees (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet). A riding
mower could overturn and cause serious injury. If operating a walk-
behind mower on such a slope, it is extremely difficult to maintain
your footing and you could slip, resulting in serious injury.
• Operate RIDING mowers up and down slopes, never across the face of slopes.
• Operate WALK-BEHIND mowers across the face of slopes, never up and down
slopes.
