TO DRIVE / TRANSPORT____________________________________________________
Read and follow all safety notes contained in this manual
when driving or transporting tractor. Refer to Section 5.3
for general operating instructions. When operating in
reverse look behind you to ensure you have a clear path.
Important: If this tractor is driven on public roads, it must
comply with federal, state and local ordinances. Contact
local authorities for regulations and equipment
requirements.
1.
Disengage all drives and raise implements to the
transport position when driving to and from the area
of operation.
2.
Disengage parking brake and move throttle lever to
“Fast”. Depress traction pedal slowly.
5.7
HILLSIDE OPERATION _____________________________________________________
The tractor has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions; however, use
caution when operating on slopes, especially over rough
terrain or when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces
traction and steering control.
1.
Always mow with the engine at full throttle but reduce
forward speed to maintain the proper cutting
frequency.
2.
If the tractor tends to slide or the tires begin to
“mark” the turf, angle tractor into a less steep grade
until traction is regained or tire marking stops.
3.
If tractor continues to slide or mark the turf, the
grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make
another attempt to climb, back down slowly.
4.
When descending a steep slope, always lower
implements to the ground to reduce the risk of
tractor overturning.
Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum traction.
Front and Rear - 10-12 psi (69-83 kPa).
CAUTION
To prevent tipping or loss of control, travel at reduced
speed when making turns.
!
WARNING
To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest
method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel
up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not
across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary
turns, travel at reduced speeds, stay alert for hidden
hazards, and drop offs.
CAUTION
Do not operate this tractor on slopes greater than
20°.
