4. lt ad T o O 11 5 Operating the Mower Only operate the mower from the tractor operator s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened on a ROPS or cab equipped tractor The mower is designed for cutting grass and small weeds Sharp blades will produce a cleaner cut and require less power Travel at a speed that allows the mower sufficient time to cut through the vegetation and maintain the PTO operating speed to prevent overloading the mower and tractor Choose a driving pattern that provides the maximum pass length and minimizes turning Stay alert and watch for trees low hanging limbs power lines and other overhead obstacles and solid ground objects while you are operating Under some conditions tractor tires may roll vegetation down preventing a cut at the same height as the surrounding area To minimize this problem reduce the tractor ground speed while maintaining the operating speed of the mower A slower ground speed allows grasses to partially rebound and be cut Reversing the direction of travel may also help produce a cleaner cut in these conditions Avoid mowing in the reverse direction If the mower must be backed to access an area to cut make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the mower before mowing in reverse When mowing in reverse operate the tractor and mower at a reduced ground speed to ensure control of the tractor and mower is maintained Do not mow with two machines in the same area except wi
