turf conditions affect stability. DO NOT operate on slopes
where traction and stability are doubtful. To help avoid tip-over,
rollover and loss-of-control, use extreme caution on hillsides
and:
• Study terrain and plan a safe operating pattern.
• DO NOT operate on slopes over 15 DEGREES.
• Use LOW GEAR on hills and lean uphill for balance.

your way up.
• Avoid sharp turns and sudden starts and stops.
• Apply rear brakes first and then front brakes.
• Reduce the amount of granular and liquid products carried.
• Operate as a walk-behind in situations where tip-over,
rollover or loss-of-control is possible.
