Operating Tips foot off the traction pedal and let it return to neutral or press down on the reverse pedal to stop. Going down a hill, you may need to use the reverse pedal to stop. General Tips for Model 03171 • When driving on slopes, drive slowly to maintain steering control and avoid turns to prevent rollovers. In side hill situations you should shift the sidewinder cutting units to the uphill side to give you more stability.
General Tips for Model 03170 • When driving on slopes, drive slowly to maintain steering control and avoid turns to prevent rollovers. DANGER • When possible, mow up and down hills rather than across them. Have the cutting units lowered when going down a hill to maintain steering control. Do not attempt to turn on a hill. The mower has a unique traction system that allows the machine to move forward on side hills, even if the uphill wheel should come off the ground.
Mowing Techniques Selecting the Clip Rate (Reel Speed) • To begin cutting, engage the cutting units, then approach To achieve a consistent, high quality of cut and a uniform after-cut appearance, it is important that the reel speed be matched to the height of cut. the mowing area slowly. Once the front cutting units are over the mowing area, lower the cutting units. • To achieve the professional straight-line cut and striping Important: If the reel speed is too slow, you may notice visible clip marks.

Engine Maintenance Checking the Sealed Bearings Bearings rarely fail from defects in materials or workmanship. The most common reason for failure is moisture and contamination working its way past the protective seals. Bearings that are greased rely upon regular maintenance to purge harmful debris from the bearing area. Sealed bearings rely on an initial fill of special grease and a robust integral seal to keep contaminants and moisture out of the rolling elements.
