OPERATION

Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping, especially when making an emergency stop.

Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road speeds. Never tow the mower at speeds greater than 20 MPH.

Tires and Wheels

Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not exceed 10 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections. Sectional tires must be installed such that the rubber segments lay with the ground.

Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the mower is frequently transported between locations.

Pneumatic Tires (used airplane or implement tires) are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the tires. Maximum airplane tire inflation pressure is 50 PSI, minimum inflation pressure is 20 PSI. Inflate ribbed implement tires to manufacturer rated PSI as shown on the tire sidewall. DO NOT over-inflate.
