TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH -
MENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifi cations 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.

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-
ing switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat
with the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged
will shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally
positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitat-
ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,
rolling terrain or hills.

control.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 8)
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly
off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height
in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck
in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain
conditions.

surface.

JUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT” in the Operation
sec tion of this manual).

each gauge wheel bar.
• Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise gauge wheels
slightly to align holes in bracket and gauge wheel bar
and insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels should be slightly
off the ground.
• Replace retainer spring into clevis pin.
• Be sure all gauge wheels are in the same setting.
