SlopeOperation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tipover 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 it.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this
manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a
sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit on that
area or serious injury could result.
00:

1.
2.

4.
5.
6.

Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so
that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes
are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear
when going down slopes to take advantage of engine
braking action.
Followthe manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid
engagement or braking could cause the front of the
machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which
could cause serious injury.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down
the slope.

DoNot:
1.
2.

3.
4.
5.
6.

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the
edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speeding
may cause the operator to lose control of the machine
resulting in serious injury or death.

Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded
dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5
degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight tends to
push the tractor and may cause you to loose control. (e.g.
tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are
reduced, attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to
overturn).

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. They do not
understand the dangers. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
b. Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
c. Before and while backing, look behind and down
for small children.
d. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut
off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or
interfere with safe machine operation.
e. Use extreme care when approaching blind
corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects
that may block your vision of a child who may run
into the machine.
f.
Disengage the cutting blade(s) before shifting in
reverse. The "No-Cut-in Reverse" feature is a
reminder not to cut in reverse and to help avoid
back over accidents. Do not defeat it.
g. Keep children away from hot or running engines.
They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.
h. Remove key when machine is unattended to
prevent unauthorized operation.
Never allow children under 14 years old to operate the
machine. Children 14 years old and over should read and
understand the operation instructions and safety rules in
this manual and should be trained and supervised by a
parent.

Towing
1.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
Followthe manufacturers recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Depress the brake pedal to release the parking brake.
Move the throttle lever into the FAST (rabbit) position.
To move forward, place the shift lever in the FORWARD position, then slowly depress the drive pedal until the
desired speed is achieved. To move in reverse, place the shift lever in the REVERSE position, check that the
area behind is clear then slowly depress the drive pedal.

DrivingOnSlopes
IMPORTANT: Refer to the SLOPEGAUGE
on page 6 to help determine slopes where you may operate the tractor safely.
Mow up and down slopes, never across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must be made, attempt while going downward on the slope.
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary to stop while driving up a slope, start up smoothly and
carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor over backward.

The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor.
12

Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed.
For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center.
After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This
will give a better appearance to the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should always be done with the engine at full throttle.
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow
lawns, NOT clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to CuffingBladeson page 19 of this manual for
proper blade sharpening instructions.

WARNING:

To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children

and pets at least 75 feet from the machine while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
