Page 159 OPERATION Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph (3-8 kph). Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.
Page 160 OPERATION 13.1 Working On Slopes When working on slopes do not operate from any position directly below the machine, where possible it is safer to stand in a suitable location above the machine.

Page 187 MAINTENANCE Change filter according to procedure “HYDRAULIC FILTER REPLACEMENT” in maintenance section. NOTE: Always replace filters at the intervals stated in the maintenance schedule using quality original filters as specified and supplied by the manufacturer. • If oil level is too low, top off using the oil required in your machine.
Page 188 MAINTENANCE HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE The control valve that controls the hydraulic functions of the machine is located under the vehicle and is only accessible from beneath the machine. When working on this, or any other item located under the machine, great care must be taken to ensure the machine is securely positioned before attempting to access or work on the component.

A properly operated Flail Mower will produce very little vibration. If vibration does occur, the mower should be stopped and the trouble corrected, as warranty does not cover failures resulting from continued operation after something happens to cause the mower to vibrate excessively.
Page 200 MAINTENANCE HYDRAULICS The TRAXX RC56/75 hydraulic system consists of three circuits. The power circuit drives the cuttershaft. The control circuit lifts and tilts the cutter unit, and the drive system operates the tracks.
