9.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
Always disengage the tractor differential lock when turning. When engaged the differential lock will prevent or limit
the tractor from turning. During normal cutting conditions, locking the differential provides no benefit and should
not be used.
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating
condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate
independently allowing single rear wheel braking action
or locked together to provide simultaneous rear wheel
braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND MOWING
CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE
LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty
brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases; use extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating
in traffic, always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be
aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.
WARNING!
9.3 Raising the Mower
Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever-lift type or
hydraulic remote lever-pull and semi-mount type, raise
the mower high enough to clear all ground obstacles.
When raising the mower, make sure all connection
points are securely attached and at least 1” clearance
is maintained between the driveline and the deck. If
necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point hitch
control lever to limit the height the mower can be raised
to avoid driveline damage.
