Operating the Tractor
GENERAL OPERATING SAFETY
Before first time operation:
• Be sure to read all information in the Safety and
Operation sections before attempting to operate this
tractor and mower.
• Become familiar with all of the controls and how to
stop the unit.
• Drive in an open area without mowing to become
accustomed to the unit.
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
• Check that the crankcase is filled with oil to full mark
on dipstick. See the engine Operator’s Manual for
instructions and oil recommendations.
• Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws and pins are in place
and tight.
• Adjust the seat position, and make certain you can
reach all controls from operator’s position.
• Fill the gasoline tank with fresh gasoline. Refer to
engine manual for gasoline recommendations.
• Make certain rear counterweights are installed if you
will be operating the unit on sloping ground.
Never allow passengers to ride on the unit.
Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason,
engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop
the engine and remove the key.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, tractor and
mower free of grass, leaves and excess grease. Do
not stop or park tractor over dry leaves, grass or
combustible materials.
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with
care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot
from recent operation. Do not allow open flame,
smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and
wipe up any spills.
WARNING
Never operate on slopes greater than 17,6 percent
(10°) which is a rise of 1m vertically in 6m horizontally.
When operating on slopes use additional wheel
weights or counterweights. See your dealer to
determine which weights are available and appropriate
for your unit.
Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.
In addition to front and rear weights, use extra caution
when operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass
catcher.
Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face,
use caution when changing directions and DO NOT
START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
