This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting | ||
| ||
| this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard | |
| rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the | |
| Implement and Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious | |
| injury, or even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. |
9.1 Starting the Tractor
The procedure to start the tractor is model specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear. Ensure the
9.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate independently allowing single rear wheel braking action or locked together to provide simultaneous rear wheel braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND MOWING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
WARNING! Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases; use extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.
Always disengage the tractor differential lock when turning. When engaged the differential lock will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During normal mowing conditions, locking the differential provides no benefit and should not be used.
