II.SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip
and fall accidents which can result in
severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-
tion. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
trim it.
DO:
Trim across the face of slopes: never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
O0 NOT:
Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The operator could lose
footing or balance.
Do not trim excessively steep slopes.
Do not trim on wet grass. Reduced foot-
ing could cause slipping.

is not alert to the presence of children.

and under the watchful care of another
responsible adult.
