9.3 Raising the Cutter

Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever, raise the cutter off the ground about 6”, or just high enough to clear any ground obstacles. When raising the cutter, make sure all connection points are securely attached and at least 1” clearance is maintained between the driveline and the deck. If necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3- point hitch control lever to limit the height the cutter can be raised to avoid driveline damage.

9.4 Driving the Tractor and Cutter

Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and cutter. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires are frozen to the

ground, reverse the tractor out to prevent overturning.

Perform turns with the tractor and cutter at slow speeds to determine how the tractor with the cutter handles a turn. Determine the safe operating speed to maintain proper control of the tractor when making turns. When turning with an attached rear implement, the overall length of the working unit is greatly increased. Allow additional clearance for the cutter to swing when turning.

WARNING! Be particularly careful when transporting the Mower with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted Implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast if necessary, to maintain at least 20% of the Tractor’s weight on the front wheels to prevent Tractor rearing up, loss of steering control, and possible Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control, which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not transport the Mower unless the Tractor 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping the Mower during transport can cause serious damage to the Tractor

and/or Mower, and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
