9.1 Starting the Tractor
The procedure to start the tractor is model
specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for
starting procedures for your particular tractor.
Consult an authorized dealer if the starting
procedure is unclear. Ensure the 3-point control
lever is in the lowered position and the PTO is
disengaged before starting the tractor. OPS-U-

9.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
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 OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE
BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE LOCKED
TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
Always disengage the tractor differential lock
when turning. When engaged the differential lock
will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal operating conditions, locking the
differential provides no benefit and should not be
used.
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. OPS-U- 0013 str
9.3 Operating the Cutter Wings
This mower use cylinders to fold and unfold the wings. Make sure that the hydraulic lines and wing fold cylinder
are purged of air by fully extending and retracting cylinders a minimum of 6 times on double acting cylinders.
On single acting cylinders raise and lower the wings a minimum of 6 times. Only operate the mower with both
wings completely lowered. Never operate the mower with a raised wing. Wait until the blades have come to a
complete stop before raising wings.
