New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher
cutting height.
Keep the mower deck and side discharge chute clean.
Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other ac-
cumulated debris before and after each use. Do not spray
with a garden hose to clean.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to completely
stop, and remove the start key before cleaning under-
neath the mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
See Figure 10.
DANGER:
Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and roll-over
accidents that result in death or severe injury. Operation
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on
a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt
to mow steep slopes greater than 15 degrees. Do not
operate in reverse down a slope, unless the mower stops
while going uphill. In that situation, stop the blades, look
behind you, and back up slowly. Make a copy or cut out
the slope guide image later in this manual and use to
determine if your slope is too steep for safe operation.
Mow up and down, not across the face of slopes.
Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass can cause the tires
to lose traction or slip on slopes, even though the brakes
are functioning properly.
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
Drive slowly and do not make sudden changes in speed
or direction.
Avoid stopping on slope if at all possible. If stopping is
unavoidable, make sure to engage parking brake. When
restarting, use lowest possible speed. If turning is neces-
sary, exercise extreme caution when changing direction
and always turn downhill.
Never attempt to stabilize the mower on a slope by plac-
ing your foot on the ground during operation.
OPERATION
If using the optional bagger kit, use extreme caution and
operate the mower slowly when operating on slopes, as
the bagging kit can change the stability of the mower.
Always use the brakes when travelling down the slope.
Do not attempt to let the mower coast downhill in neutral.
If at any point the tires lose traction while operating on
a slope, disengage the blades and proceed slowly and
carefully straight down the slope.
If the mower stops while going uphill, stop blades, look
behind you, and back up slowly.
