OPERATION

TWR-180 / TWR-120 12/04

Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or

boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals

should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures

that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping,

especially when making an emergency stop.

Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of

the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road

speeds. Never tow the mower at speeds greater than

20 MPH.

Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the

mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not

exceed 10 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections.

Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the mower is

frequently transported between locations.

13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER

Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the

tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all

mower moving parts to come to a complete stop.

Raise the mower wings and secure in position with

transport lock pins. When transporting, only raise the

center deck enough to clear ground obstacles to prevent

tipping, especially when traveling through rough terrain.

If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of

the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to

have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline

from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline

to the mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss

during transport.

Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you

finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices

when transporting the tractor and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following safe

transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.

DANGER!

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or

Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

(SG-10)

Pneumatic Tires (used airplane or implement tires) are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are

not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the

tires. Maximum airplane tire inflation pressure is 50 PSI, minimum inflation pressure is 20 PSI. Inflate

ribbed implement tires to manufacturer rated PSI as shown on the tire sidewall. DO NOT over-inflate.
