5OPERATION
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.
2. Disengage parking brake, move throttle
lever to “Fast”, and traction lever to “2”.
Depress tractionpedal slowly.
3. 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.
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.
The 3WD function will automatically disengage
when traction pedal (T) is depressed for “reverse”
motion, or traction lever (F) is moved to position “2”
or reel switch (D) is disabled.
5.8 HILLSIDE OPERATION
The tractor has been designed for good traction and
stabilityunder 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.
1. Always mow with the engine at full
throttle but reduce forward speed to
maintain the proper cutting frequency.
2. If the tractor tends to slide or the tyres
begin to “mark” the turf, angle tractor into
a less steep gradeuntil traction is
regained or tyre marking stops.
3. 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.
4. When descending a steep slope, always
lower implements to the ground to reduce
the risk of tractoroverturning.
Correct tyre pressure is essential for maximum
traction.
To prevent tipping or loss of control,
travel at reduced speed when making
turns.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
Do not operate this tractor on slopes
greater than 15 °

We GUARANTEE that should any defect in workmanship or material occur in the

making any charge for labour or for materials, provided that the claim under this
guarantee is made through an authorised Ransomes' Dealer and that the defective
part shall, if we so request, be returned to us or to the Dealer. This guarantee is in
addition to, and does not exclude, any condition or warranty implied by law, except
that we accept no liability in respect of second-hand goods, or in respect of defects
which in our opinion are in any way or to any extent attributable to misuse, lack of
reasonable care or ordinary wear and tear, or to the fitting of spares, replacements,
or extra components which are not supplied or approved by us for the purpose. The
use of non-recommended oil or lubricant nullifies the guarantee.
Damage through transport or normal wear does not come under the guarantee.
