If at any time the mower should jam resulting in belt slippage of 2 or more seconds,
raise the mower and continue for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the pulleys to cool and
prolong belt life.
Because of the size and high cutting speed of the Flex mower, it is extremely important
that the operator becomes familiar with its width while mowing around trees, buildings,
etc. Since the Flex mower cuts better at higher speeds it is indispensable that the
operator knows the mower before entering into areas where trees, fences, curbs and
other obstacles can be hit.
DANGER: The mower blades can throw objects hundreds of feet which could
result in personal or property damage.
Pick up all rocks and other debris before mowing.
Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass higher at first, allowing mower to clear
hidden objects.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the tractor and mower
quickly. On the finishing mowers always disengage the PTO, lock parking brake,
stop engine and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop before
dismounting the tractor.
3.13 - Uneven Terrain
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating tractor and mower over uneven
ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain with the PTO
disengaged.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the
tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing
directions on a slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the
tractor and implement.
6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Avoid tipping the mower while cutting.
