DrivingOnSlopes
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 8 to help determine
slopes
where you may operate the tractor
safely.
i_
WARNING!
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in
excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately
2-1/2
feet every 10 feet). The tractor could overturn
and
cause serious injury.
Mow across slopes, not up and down.
Exercise extreme
caution
when changing
direction
on
slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects.
Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then turn slowly
uphill and use extra care while turning.
Turning
up a slope
greatly increases the chance ofa rollover.
Avoid stopping
when driving
up a slope. If it is necessary
to stop while driving
up a slope, start up smoothly
and
carefully
to reduce the possibility
of flipping
the tractor
over backward.
Mowing
WARNING!
To help avoid blade contact
or a
thrown object injury, keep bystanders,
helpers,
children
and pets at least 75 feet from the machine
while it is in operation.
Stop machine
if anyone
enters the area.
The following
information
will be helpful
when using the cutting
deck with your tractor.
WARNING!
Plan your mowing
pattern
to avoid
discharge
of materials
toward
roads, sidewalks,
bystanders
and the like. Also, avoid discharging
material against
a wall or obstruction
which may
cause discharged
material
to ricochet
back toward
the operator.
Do not mowat
high ground
speed, especially
ira mulch kit
or grass collector
is installed.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed
growth
and yellows quickly
in dry weather.
Always operate
the tractor
with the throttle
lever in the
FAST (rabbit)
position
while mowing.
For best results it is recommended
that the first two laps be
cut with the discharge
thrown
towards
the center. After the
first two laps, reverse the direction
to throw the discharge
to the outside
for the balance of cutting.
This will give a
better appearance
to the lawn.
Do NOT attempt
to mow heavy brush and weeds or
extremely
tall grass. Your tractor
is designed
to mow lawns,
NOT clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn.
Usingthe DeckLift Pedal
Push the pedal forward
until it locks into the transport
position,
locking
behind
the notch on the front of the index plate. Remove
and replace the lock pin into the desired
height index hole, then
press down on the lift pedal and slowly allow the pedal to move
back until it reaches the lock pin.
Engaging the PTO
Engaging
the PTO transfers
power to the cutting
deck or other
(separately
available)
attachments.
To engage
the PTO:
1.
Move the throttle
control
lever to the FAST (rabbit)
position.
2.
Pull the PTO/Blade Engage knob outward
into the engaged
(ON) position.
See Fig. 5-4.
