2.3 OPERATION ON UNEVEN TERRAIN
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating tractor and implement over uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire ballast
should be used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain with the PTO
disengaged.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the tractor
from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, slow down before changing directions on a
slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the tractor
and implement.
6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Watch for holes, roots, or other hidden objects. Do not operate near the edge of a gully,
ditch, or stream bank.
NOTE: When mowing over uneven terrain keep cylinder stop lock in raised position.

chain.
•
Only the PTO shaft supplied by the Manufacturer must be used.
•
The engine must not be running when installing and removing the PTO shaft.
•
Care must be taken regarding the safety and correct assembly of the PTO shaft.
