extra cau-
tion. If you feel uneasy
on a slope,
do not
mow it.

the face of slopes:
never
up and down. Exercise
extreme
caution
when
changing
direction
on slopes.

obstacles
such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.

grass can hide obstacles.

ditches
or
embankments.

steep slopes.
,, Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
foot-
ing could cause
slipping.
