cause serious injury.
Mow up and down slopes, NEVER across.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on 
slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden 
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
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 roll over.
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 possibility of flipping the tractor
over backward.

lever, the cruise control will engage.
Parking Brake
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator leaves the
seat with the engine running or the engine will automatically
shut off.
