IL SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor reiaied to loss-of-control and

,1.1 hiai , stop enume, агО reiiiove ЧеУъ

tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Ail slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back

up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

Mow up and do¥/n slopes, not across. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watch for holes,, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tali grass can hide obstacles.

Use stow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the siope.

ftoilow the m<anufacturer’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 ail movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

DO NOT;

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and 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 or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

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

sliding.

* Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the

ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

* To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibili

ties section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

» Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

iMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

BELOW 32°F(0'’C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

MOWI

• Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor.

® Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in

the Sendee and Adjustments section of this manual.

• The left hand side of mower should be used for trim ming.

• Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area

that has beer*, cut. Have the cut area to the right of the

machine. This will result in a more even disiribuiion of

clippings and more uniform cutting.

• When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right

so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow

in the opposite direction iTiaking left hand turns until

finished (See Fig. 9).

» if grass is extremely tail, it should be mowed twice to

reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip

pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.
