OPERATION OF THE TRACTOR:
Because of sufficient tractor engine power no prob
lems should be encountered using attachments under
. normal conditions. On rough, hilly, or wet terrain, ad-
dition of wheel weights and tire chains will minimiZe
rear tire slippage. A rear weight box is available for
use on 200-Series tractors only. All front tires may be .
fluid filled. Rear tires may be fluid filled on 400-Series
tractors only.
WITH A MOWER (All Models)
WARNING
Keep all shields and mower discharge chute
in place. Never put hands or feet under mower
deck. Never attempt to clear discharge areas or
mower blades without disengaging PTO clutch
and removing ignition key.
For best operation on average lawns, operate en�
gine at full throttle while controlling ground speed
with transmission. Tractor should be operated at 2
to 3.5 MPH (3.2 to 5.6 KMH)* while mowing grass.
Uneven cutting is often a result of excessive ground
speed. To correct, reduce ground speed with trans
mission. Average lawns are usually cut at a height
between 2 and 3 in. (5-7.6 em). Tali grass and weeds
shculd be cut with mower in its highest position, mak
ing a second pass cutting at height desired.
Always keep mower blades sharp.
&CAUTION .&.
Sharp edges
of
mower blades can cut you
during blade maintenance or adiustment. Use
suitable covering over cutting edges of blade to
prevent bodily harm.
WITH A SNOWTHROWER (All Models)
,&,CAUTION .&.
Thoroughly inspect area where snowthrower
is to be used. Remove all door mats, sleds,
boards and other foreign objects. Never make
any adjustments while engine is running. Never
try to clear chute while engine is running.
Snow removal will vary g reatly with condition of
each snowfall. light fluffy snow will be cleared with
ease. Heavy wet snow will be more difficult. It is ad
visable to coat auger and chute with a light coat of
wax or paraffin to keep snow from sticking. Best re
sults are usually attained when tractor ground speed
is set at 1 to 2 MPH (1 .6 to 3.2 KMH). *
Experience will teach you not to throw snow into
wind.
Care should be exercised whenever snow thrower
is engaged. 'Auger is capable of picking up sticks,
stones and other foreign obiects and expelling them
with great velocity. Always aim discharge chute away
from persons or obiects subiect to harm.
Tire chains and wheel weights, plus rear weight box
on 200�Series tractors, are recommended when using
a snowthrower.
