SLOPE OPERATION:
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy
on a slope, do not mow it!
DO
Mow across the slope with your Dixon® ZTR® --
never up or down. This will decrease the risk of
tip-over.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, wires
and other foreign objects that can be thrown by
mower blades.
Watch for holes, ruts, roots and bumps. Uneven
terrain could overturn the mower. Tall grass can
hide such obstacles.
Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes
even though the brakes are functioning properly.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
down the slope.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
