1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

5. Operating Your Tractor on Slopes

On a slope, the tractor is less stable and more prone to tip-over, possibly leading to serious injury or death. Remain very cautious when your tractor is on any slope.

A2019005

DO:

●Operate up and down slopes, not across. ●Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc. ●Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain

could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide such obstacles.

●Place the transmission in the low range. When

climbing or descending slopes. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine braking action.

●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 Power Take Off (PTO) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

●To avoid upset, move backward up a steep slope. If backing on the slope is not comfortable, do not attempt to continue. Avoid an extremely steep slope.

●When moving forward to escape from a ditch, or deep mud, or when traveling on a steep slope, the risk of the tractor upsetting backward is high. Always move backward to escape these situations. In the four-wheel drive mode, special caution is needed to avoid false confidence in the tractor’s ability to climb slopes.

●To improve stability on a slope, select the widest possible tread. Observe the instructions for appropriate ballasting. (For details, see “TIRES,

WHEELS AND BALLAST”)

DO NOT:

●Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

WARNING

●Before approaching a slope, select an appropriate speed setting. Be sure to run the tractor at a lower speed on slopes. NEVER attempt a shift change action on a slope. Otherwise, the tractor can suddenly go

downhill out of control.

●On a slope, do not set the range shift lever to the “N” (neutral) position.

●When climbing or descending a slope, do not disengage the clutch or shift the gears. Disengaging the clutch or shifting the gears to neutral position can cause the tractor to be out of control.

●Suddenly starting the tractor on an uphill can cause the front wheels to jump off the ground, and this situation poses an extreme danger. To avoid this problem, run the engine at a lower

speed, and gently start the tractor.

●Do not park the tractor on a slope. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, chock the tires, and engage the parking brake securely.
