OPERATION
Fig. 14
TO OPERATE ON HILLS
CAUTION: Do not drive up or down hills
with slopes greater than 15° and do not
drive across any slope.
• Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down
hills.
• Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push brake pedal
quickly to brake position and engage parking brake.
• To restart movement, slowly release parking brake and
brake pedal.
• Slowly depress appropriate drive pedal to slowest set ting.
• Make all turns slowly.
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS) (See
Fig. 13)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off the
engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position.
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary .
USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM -
Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders
will enter the mowing area.
• Depress brake pedal all the way down.
•
With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise
to ROS "ON" position.
• Look down and behind before and while backing.
•
Slowly depress reverse drive pedal to start movement.
• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the
ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-
tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,
while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
TO TRANSPORT (See Fig. 14)
When push ing or tow ing your trac tor, ensure transmission
is disengaged by placing freewheel control in free wheel ing
po si tion. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar
of tractor.
•
Raise attachment lift to highest position with at tach ment
lift control.
• Pull freewheel control out and into the slot and release
so it is held in the disengaged position.
• Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) mph
(3,2 km/h).
• To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.
NOTE : To protect hood from damage when transporting
your tractor on a truck or a trailer, ensure hood is closed
and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying
hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine in your tractor has been shipped from the fac-
tory already filled with sum mer weight oil.
• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.
•
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the
dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
• For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting. (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the
Maintenance sec tion of this manual.)
• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in
this manual.
