SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES

SLOPE OPERATION

1. Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-

over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope

or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow or drive on it.

2. For your safety, measure any slope before using the tractor

on the sloped area. Use a slope measuring device in addition

to the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure

slopes before operating this tractor on a sloped or hilly area.

Smart phone applications can be also utilized to measure

slopes. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees (25%) as

shown on the slope gauge or a slope measuring device, do

not operate this tractor on that area or serious injury could

result.

3. Do not mow on slopes greater than 15 degrees (25%).

4. Do not mow up or down slopes, only mow across slopes that

are less than 15 degrees (25%). Use low speeds and avoid

sudden turns.

5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause

sliding or a loss of control.

6. Do not operate tractor under any conditions where traction,

steering or stability is in question. Tires could slide even if the

wheels are stopped.

7. Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making sudden

changes in speed or direction. Make turns slowly and

gradually.

8. Use extra care while operating tractor with grass catcher

or other attachment(s). They can affect the stability of the

tractor. Do not use grass catcher on slopes greater than 10

degrees (17%).

9. Do not try to stabilize the tractor by putting your foot on the

ground.

10. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do

not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid

acceleration could cause the front of the tractor to lift and

rapidly roll over backwards, which could cause serious injury

or death.

11. Do not turn off tractor and freewheel downhill. Over-

speeding may cause the operator to lose control of the tractor

resulting in serious injury or death.

Mowing

WARNING

To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury,

keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75

feet (23 meters) from the tractor while it is in operation.

Keep bystanders, children and pets inside during

operation. Stop tractor if anyone enters the area.

Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of materials

toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,

avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction

which may cause discharged material to ricochet back

toward the operator.

The following information will be helpful when using the cutting

deck with your tractor:

1. Do not mow or drive at high ground speed, especially if a

mulch kit or grass collector is installed.

2. For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be

cut clockwise with the discharge facing towards the center

of your lawn. After the first two laps, reverse the direction to

discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will

give a better appearance to the lawn.

3. Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed

growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

4. Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over

the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.

5. Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and grass

taller than 10” (25.4 cm). Your tractor is designed to mow

lawns, NOT clear brush.
