DRIVING ON SLOPES
Before
operating
the
tractor
on
any
slope,
walk
the
slope
to
look
for
possible
hazards
such
as
rocks,mounds,
ruts,
stumps
or
other
surface
ir-
regularities
which
could
cause
an
upset.
Back
the
tractor
with
implement
up
the
steepest
portion
of
each
slope
you
intend
to
work.
If
the
tractor
cannot
negotiate
the
slope
in
reverse,
the
slope
is
too
steep
to
be
worked.
~
CAUTION
Always
drive
up
or
down
the
face
of
a
slope.
Do
not
drive
so
that
the
tractor
may
tip
over
sideways.
ADJUSTING
THE SEAT
Before starting
the tractor,
adjust the seat to the
most comfortable
driving
position.
Tilt the seat
forward
over the steering
wheel,
loosen
the four
cap screws in the seat support,
and slide the seat
assembly
forward
or rearward
to the
position
which
is most comfortable
for the operator.
See
figure 14.
Retighten
the cap screws
after
the seat is ad-juste
NOTE: The battery
is located
in a well under the
operator's
seat for ease in servicing
or replace-
ment when necessary.
Avoid turns when driving
on a slope.
If a turn must
be made, turn down the slope. Turning
up a slope
greatly
increases
the chance
of a rollover.
Avoid
stopping
when driving
up a slope.
If it is
necessary
to stop while
driving
up a slope,
start
up smoothly
and carefully
to reduce the possibili-
ty of flipping
the tractor
over backward.
STOPPING
THE TRACTOR
Move the speed control
lever to the "N" position
or use the standard
brake pedal. Before dismount-
ing always
lock the brake pedal and turn the igni-
tion
"OFF."
Also
disengage
the power
take-off
control
switch.
