Section 4

To steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the sharper the mower will turn left.

To steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right steering control lever to move forward. The further the control is allowed to move forward, the sharper the mower will turn right.

To stop the reverse travel, place the speed control lever in the neutral position and allow the steering control levers to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be parked, engage the parking brake and remove the ignition key.

4.6ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER 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, (Figure 4-6) to the engage position.

-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 a normal condition.

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 performance. If the engine starts to lug down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine to operate at maximum RPM.

4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION

WARNING:

To minimize the possibility of overturning, the least dangerous method of operating on hills and terraces is to travel vertically up and down the slope, not horizontally along the slope. Avoid any unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed.

1.The 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 inhibit tipping or loss of control, do not start or stop suddenly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed.

3.Keep tires properly inflated.

4.Always travel up or down the slope, whenever possible; NEVER across the slope. (See Figures 4-6 and 4-7.)
