height gives a more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks. If cut is still not
satisfactory, cut the area twice.
Mow extremely tall grass twice. On the first pass use a high cutting height. On the
second pass position the mower at the desired height and, when practical, mow at a
right angle in travel to the first pass.
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible.
It is better to cut grass more often, than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot
weather and invites weed growth during growing season.
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.
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.
3.09 - 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.
