Simplicity 5200 Series User Manual

Operation
6. Use the ground speed control lever to
select appropriate ground speed for
conditions (keep RPM level high). If
the terrain if rough, hilly or sloping,
drive slowly. You should also drive
slowly to cut thick grass or blow heavy
snow. On level ground, with light grass
or snow, you can use full speed.
7. Use the transmission control lever to
slow down for turns or to trim around
objects, then increase speed.
8. To stop, move the transmission control
lever into NEUTRAL position. For a
more rapid stop, depress the clutch-
brake pedal. If you stop by depressing
the pedal, move control lever to
NEUTRAL before releasing pedal.
9. Before leaving the operator seat:
a. Stop tractor motion and engage
parking brake.
b. Disengage the PTO and lower the
attachment.
c. Set engine speed control halfway
between fast and slow (if tractor
backfires when shutting off, move
speed control a little higher than
halfway). Stopping a hot engine too
fast may cause engine damage. Let
engine idle for about a minute.
However, do not idle engine for an
extended period - it may cause
carbon buildup.
d. Turn key to OFF and remove it.
e. Place transmission control lever into
forward position. This will help
prevent accidental starting. The
control lever must be in neutral to
start.

Never operate on slopes greater than
30 percent (16.7°) which is a rise of
three feet vertically in 10 feet
horizontally. When operating on
slopes that are greater than 15 percent
(8.5°) but less than 30 percent, use
rear wheel weights (see your dealer).
Select slow ground speed before
driving onto slope. Mow up and down
the slope, never across the face, use
caution when changing directions and
DO NOT STOP OR START.
WARNING
To reduce fire hazard, keep the
engine, tractor and mower free of
grass, leaves and excess grease._
^j^WARNING
Before leaving the operator’s position for
any reason, engage the parking brake,
disengage the PTO, stop the engine and
remove the key. _
