the risk of injury, never operate the product under
any condition where you experience wheel slipping or
sliding, or where wheel traction or mower stability and
control are in doubt. The product may slide even if the
wheels are stopped. These conditions increase the risk
of roll over.

over any 20 foot segment. See Slope Identification
Guide (Reference 2.4.9) in this Operator Manual.

(ROPS)
The Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) is an
important and effective safety device. Do not remove,
repair or alter the ROPS. Replace a damaged
component of the ROPS.
