Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline's inner profile and its outer housing may
allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the operator
or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020
When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not approach
from an angle which is perpendicular or straight on as
damaged to over collapse of the driveline may occur.
When crossing such terrain, the implement should be fully
lowered for a lower center of gravity and added stability.
OPS-R-0021
Inclines and ditches should be approached along a line
which is at an angle as shown. This type of path will re-
duce the possibility of over-collapse of the driveline and
resulting damage. If the gradient is so steep that such an
approach increases the possibility of a tractor roll-over, se-
lect an alternate crossing path.
When operating the tractor and mower across slopes and
inclines, through ditches, and other uneven terrain condi-
tions, it is important to maintain sufficient deck to ground
clearance. Blade contact with the ground may cause soil,
rocks and other debris to be thrown out from under the
mower resulting in possible injury and/or property dam-
age.
Ground contact also produces a severe shock load on the
mower drive and to the mower blades resulting in possible
damage and premature wear.
