OPERATION
Starting on a Sloped Surface
Improper starting on sloped surfaces
can cause the lawn tractor to lose
traction and tip over.
The lawn tractor can fall on you and
cause serious inju- or death.
Use the following procedure if you
must start the lawn tractor on a sloped
surface.
1. Press the brake pedal all the way down and hold it there.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Quickly let up on the brake pedal and move your right foot to either
the forward or reverse travel pedal.
4. Gradually depress the forward or reverse travel pedal as required
for a safe ground speed.
Obstacles
Use the side of the mower deck to cut close to large obstacles, such as
fences or walls.
Be careful when mowing over obstacles embedded in the lawn, such
as sprinkler heads, paving, edging, etc. Avoid anything that sticks up
above the surface of the lawn.
If a blade hits something, or if any part of the lawn tractor starts to
vibrate, stop the engine immediately and check for damage. Striking
objects may damage a blade, belt, and/or break the mower deck or
other components. Vibration usually indicates serious trouble.
