4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION

BLADES)

 

1.Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine speed when engaging the deck drive.

2.Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow switch, located on the instrument panel, to the engage position. See Figure 4-2.

WARNING

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.

1.This mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

2.To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed. If tires lose traction, disengage blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

3.Avoid sudden starts when mowing on slopes.

4.Travel across the slope whenever possible. Never up and down the slope.

5.Keep tires properly inflated.

Figure 4-2. Cutter Engage Switch

- NOTE -

A squealing noise may be heard when engaging or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower comes up to speed. This is normal.

3.To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the disengage position.

4.Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine to operate at maximum RPM.

4.8 PARKING THE MOWER

1.Park the machine on a flat, level surface only. Do not park the machine on an incline.

2.Disengage the cutter blades.

3.Lock the neutral latches and shift the transmission into the neutral position.

4.Slow the engine to idle speed.

5.Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.
