Raising The Mower; Driving The Tractor And Mower - RHINO FC-0110 Operator's Manual

OPERATION

9.3 Raising the Mower

Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever-lift
type or hydraulic remote lever-pull and semi-
mount type, raise the mower high enough to
clear all ground obstacles. When 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. OPS-R-

9.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower

Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering
control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent
the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.
Perform turns with the tractor and mower at slow
speeds to determine how the tractor with an
attached mower handles a turn. Determine the
safe speed to maintain proper control of the
tractor when making turns. When turning with a
towed implement, the overall working length of
the unit is increased. Allow additional clearance
for the mower when turning.
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and
at safe speeds, especially when operating over
rough ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and
turning corners. Tractor wheel tread spacing
should be increased when working on inclines or
rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep
slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going
downhill. DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
