10.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting

Make sure the tractor brakes are in good
operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to
operate independently allowing single rear wheel
braking action or locked together to provide
simultaneous rear wheel braking. FOR MOST
DRIVING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE
BRAKE
PEDALS
SHOULD
TOGETHER
TO
PROVIDE
EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
Always disengage the tractor differential lock
when turning. When engaged the differential lock
will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal cutting conditions, locking the differential
provides no benefit and should not be used.
OPS-U- 0013
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.
When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases; use
extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always
use the Tractor's flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around
you and watch out for the other guy.

10.3 Raising the Mower

Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever, raise
the mower off the ground about 6", or just high
enough to clear any ground obstacles.
raising the mower, make sure all connection points
are securely attached and at least 1" clearance is
maintained between the driveline and the deck. If
necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point
hitch control lever to limit the height the mower can
be raised to avoid driveline damage
