5.4—MOWING OPERATION
1. Check the turf area for debris that would cause
damage to the decks. Never operate the decks when they
are in the UP position because of the danagers of flying
objects and exposed blades.
2. When cutting large areas, the most satisfactory method is
to first cut the outer area and then mow clockwise toward
the center. The next time you cut, it is advised that you
mow in the opposite direction to prevent grass matting.
3. Cutting speeds are governed by conditions of turf, type of
terrain and opstacles to be encountered. Operate tractor at
slow speeds when turning.
5.5—MOWING
1. Stop tractor, by releasing the traction pedal, then slowly
lower the mower units (5, Fig.J) and (7, Fig. J).
Dropping mower decks abruptly could damage
them. Always check for bystanders before low-
ering.
2. Engage deck control switch (9, Fig. J) to the ON position.
3. Depress traction pedal to the desired speed (sections
4.6 and 4.7). Deck speed is constant and ground speed is
variable with the traction pedal. Do not try to regulate
ground speed with engine throttle (section 4.5).
5.6—HILLSIDE OPERATION
The I-Trim has been designed for good traction and stability
under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must still be
used during slope operation, especially when the grass is wet.
Wet grass limits traction and steering control.
In order to minimize the possibility of tipping, the least danger-
ous method of operating on hills and terraces is to travel
horizontally to the hill. It is also advisable to avoid any unneces-
sary turns while operating on hills. Use extreme caution and
travel at reduce speeds.
1. When operating on hillsides or slopes, maintain full
engine speed, but let up on the traction pedal as power
requirements increase. This will maintain the
performance necessary.
2. It is best to mow along the side of the hill, starting at the
bottom and working upwards. This allows the machine to
negotiate the slope without mowing in a downhill
direction.
3. It is essential for the correct tire pressure to be
established for maximum traction and hillside holding.
5.7—PUSHING OR TOWING
INSTRUCTIONS
The I-Trim should not be pushed or towed with the engine not
running. If needed, the I-Trim can be pushed or towed at slow
speeds for very short distances without starting the engine.
Do not exceed 2 mph while pushing or towing.
A screw-adjustable valve is located on the underside of the
pump for towing. Note: Do not exceed 2 mph while pushing or
towing. Loosen the lock nut and turn the screw CCW to
release pressure. After towing, tighten the screw by turning
CW and lock into place with the locknut.
