Driving On Slopes
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 8 to help determine slopes
where you may operate the tractor safely.
WARNING!
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 of a 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.
Engaging The PTO
Engage the PTO clutch as follows:
NOTE: During your units initial break-in period, in order to engage
the PTO and avoid engine stall, allow the engine to warm before
engaging the PTO. Break-In period varies depending on your engine.
1. Move the throttle control lever to the FAST
2. Pull the PTO switch upward to the ENGAGED position.
3. The operator must remain in the tractor seat at all times. If
the operator should leave the seat without disengaging the
PTO, the tractor's engine will shut off.
4. The PTO clutch cannot be operated when the tractor is
driving in the reverse direction. The PTO will disengage
when both drive control levers are moved to the reverse
position and will re-engage when one (or both) control
lever(s) is moved to the neutral or forward position.
Do not mow on inclines with a slope in
position.
