3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain without
attaching the mower.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the
tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing
directions on a slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the
tractor and implement.
6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Avoid tipping the mower while cutting.
8. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully,
ditch or stream bank.
3.12 - Transport
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
If it is necessary to load the mower on a truck, tie one strap around each wheel arm.
Ensure that the load bearing capacity of the straps is sufficient to hold the weight
specified in the technical features table for the machine
8
. Adjust the length of the straps
to make sure they are the same length and secure them on the other end to the hook on
the hoist (see fig. 12). Make sure that the lift point is directly above the engine to keep
the weight balanced. Slowly raise the unit to make sure the weight is balanced correctly.
