OPERATION
Operating on Hills
Read the Safety Instructions “Driving on Slopes” in the “Safety Instructions”.
WARNING!
Do not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do not drive across slopes.
•The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills.
•Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Control levers return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop.
•If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the parking brake.
•To restart movement, release the parking brake.
•Pull the control levers back to the center of the mower and press forward to regain forward motion.
•Make all turns slowly.
Stopping the Engine
If the engine has been worked hard, allow it to idle a minute to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it. Avoid idling the engine for longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling.
