If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it! DO Mow across the slope with your Dixon ZTR - never up or down.
9 Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly down the slope. If front wheels lift off the ground, pull the levers back to stabilize the mower. DO NOT Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
