To checkthe slope,proceedas follows:
1. Removethis pageandfold along the dashedline.
2. Locatea verticalobject onor behindthe slope (e.g. a pole, building,fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align eitherside of the slope gaugewith the object (See Figure1 and Figure2 ).
4. Adjust gaugeupor down until the left cornertouchesthe slope (SeeFigure1 and Figure2).

If there is agap belowthe gauge,the slope is too steepfor safeoperation(SeeFigure2 above).

Slopes are a majorfactor related to tip-over and roll-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. Do not operatemachine on slopes
in excess of 15 degrees. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
Always mow up and down the face of slopes, never mow across the face of slopes.
