Slope Identification Guide

1
How to measure the slope of a lawn surface with a
smartphone or an angle finder tool:
WARNING
Do not operate on slopes greater than 10 degrees.
1. Use a straight edge at least two (2) feet long (A,
Figure 1). A 2x4 or a straight piece of metal works well.
2. Angle finder tools.
a. Use your smartphone: Many smartphones (B,
Figure 1) have an inclinometer (angle finder) located
under the compass application (app). Or, search an
app store for an Inclinometer app.
b. Use angle finder tools: Angle finder tools (C and
D, Figure 1) are available at local hardware stores
or online (also called inclinometer, protractor, angle
meter, or angle gauge). Dial type (C) or digital type
(D) work, others may not. Read and obey the user
instructions supplied with the angle finder tool.
3. Put the two (2) feet long straight edge along the steepest
part of the lawn slope. Put the board up and down the
slope.
4. Lay the smartphone or angle finder tool on the straight
edge and read the angle in degrees. This is the slope of
your lawn.
Note: A paper gauge slope identification guide is included
in your product literature packet and is also available to
download from the manufacturer's website.
