SR10M/SR15M 10-01
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.
Drive the tractor with the 3-Point lift arms in the raised position and lock the control lever in the transport detent
position to prevent damage to the mower driveline and tongue when turning.
9.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower
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,
especially if the wings are lowered.
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.
