5.6 TO DRIVE / TRANSPORT
Read and follow all safety notes contained in this
manual when driving or transporting tractor. Refer to
Section 5.3 for general operating instructions. When
operating in reverse look behind you to ensure you
have a clear path.
Important: If this tractor is driven on public roads, it
must comply with local laws and regulations. Contact
local authorities for regulations and equipment
requirements.
1. Disengage all drives and raise implements
to the transport position when driving to and
from the area of operation.
5.7 2WD / 3WD OPERATION
The tractor is designed to switch into Three Wheel
Drive (3WD) mode when reel switch (C) is enabled,
traction lever (F) is in position "1" and traction pedal
(T) is depressed for forward motion.
5.8 HILLSIDE OPERATION
WARNING
To minimize the possibility of overturning,
the safest method for operating on hills
and terraces is to travel up and down the
face of the slope (vertically), not across
the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary
turns, travel at reduced speeds, stay alert
for hidden hazards, and drop offs.
CAUTION
Do not operate this tractor on slopes
greater than 15 °
The tractor has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions; however,
use caution when operating on slopes, especially
over rough terrain or when the grass is wet. Wet
grass reduces traction and steering control.

Correct tyre pressure is essential for maximum
traction.
SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL
Disengage parking brake, move throttle
lever to "Fast", and traction lever to "2".
Depress traction pedal slowly.
Always use position "2" to transport. If
operating a 3WD unit and additional power
is required, momentarily engage reel switch
(C) and place traction lever in position "1" to
enable 3WD mode.
CAUTION
To prevent tipping or loss of control,
travel at reduced speed when making
turns.
Always mow with the engine at full
throttle but reduce forward speed to
maintain the proper cutting frequency.
If the tractor tends to slide or the tyres
begin to "mark" the turf, angle tractor into
a less steep grade until traction is
regained or tyre marking stops.
If tractor continues to slide or mark the
turf, the grade is too steep for safe
operation. Do not make another attempt to
climb, back down slowly.
When descending a steep slope, always
lower implements to the ground to reduce
the risk of tractor overturning.
