OPERATION

10. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER

Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and

precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the

weight of the mower and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving

the tractor with an attached mower, review the following.

Read all safety instructions. Decals on the Mower warn you of particular and multiple hazards. Some decals

are attached close to part of the Mower where there is a possible hazard. Read and make sure you

understand the safety messages before you operate the implement. Keep all decals clean and readable.

Replace lost or damaged decals.

Power for operating the mower is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual instructions for

engaging and disengaging the PTO. Start the tractor and idle at a slow engine speed until oil is being pumped.

Always engage the PTO at low engine RPM and run the mower for a short period until all air is removed from

the hoses. Keep all person's well clear of mower since blades can throw objects with great velocity for a

considerable distance! KEEP CLEAR!

Check the fluid level in the Hydraulic Tank and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out of the Hoses,

it goes into the Hydraulic Tank and reduces the volume of oil. Maintain the oil level within the sight gauge

located on the side of the reservoir. Never fill the tank above the sight gauge to allow for the expansion of the

oil. The tank maintains pressure after the mower has been run. Stand off to one side when removing the

breather cap element to prevent possible injury. To relieve pressure remove the breather cap element and

depress the spring loaded pressure valve to release any excess air. Fill with Dexron

ll Automatic

Transmission Fluid.

This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this

equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,

concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and

Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.

Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
