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

Operating the Tractor and Mower
Start off operating at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor
and mower. 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.
Perform turns with the tractor and mower at slow speeds to determine how the tractor with an attached mower handles
a turn. Determine the safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor when making turns. When turning with a
towed implement, the overall working length of the unit is increased. Allow additional clearance for the mower when
turning.
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at safe speeds, especially when operating over rough ground, cross-
ing ditches or slopes, and turning corners. Tractor wheel tread spacing should be increased when working on inclines
or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill. DO NOT
coast or free-wheel downhill.
Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines
When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up
sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline inner
profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its maxi-
mum depth until the assembly becomes solid (driveline
is at its extreme shortest length). This type of abusive op-
eration can cause serious damage to the tractor and
mower drive by pushing the PTO into the tractor and
through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO
shaft, breaking it off.
