OPERATION

To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at
safe speeds, especially when operating over rough
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning corners.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes.
Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill.
DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor. Never operate the tractor at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from
stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the tractor immediately
as the tractor will be difficult to control.
Perform turns with the tractor and mower at slow speeds
to determine how the tractor with and attached
implement handles a turn. Determine the safe speed
to maintain proper control of the tractor when making
turns. When turning with the implement the overall
working length and width of the unit is increased. Allow
additional clearance for the unit when turning or when
passing large obstructions.
8.3 Driving the Tractor and Mower
WARNING! Never Leave the mower unattended while the head is in the raised
position. The mower could fall causing serious injury to anyone
who might inadvertently be under the mower
.
(SBM-4)
Inspect the area to be mowed before beginning operation. Identify any drop-offs, slopes, holes, hidden obstructions
or similar obstacle that could cause the tractor to loose stability and potential roll-over. Mark and avoid the item or
the entire area.
