● Avoid damage to the grass by slipping and
skid ding of the drive tires. Use smooth con-
trol move ments of the steering levers since
the transaxles are "power boosted controls"
and jerk ing the levers can easily slip the tires.
For sharp turns, do not allow the inside wheel
to stop and twist on grass; pull inside steering
lever into reverse for a smooth "rolling" turn
(one wheel rolling forward while the other rolls
backward).
Do not mow or drive the tractor within 5 feet
(1.5 meters) of an embankment or retaining
wall with drop off.
● When operating on a slope, reduce speed
and use caution to start, stop, and maneu-
ver. Avoid sharp turns or sudden changes
in direction. The maximum recommended
slope operating angle is 15 degrees or 27%
grade.
Do not mow around overhanging tree branch-
es or bushes at the same height as the opera-
tor's torso and head where inadvertent contact
may cause injury.
