Troy-Bilt HYDROSTATIC LAWN TRACTOR - HORSE 769-06304 用户手册

Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE in the Safe Operation section to help 

determine slopes where you may operate the tractor safely.

Do not mow on inclines with a slope in 

excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 

feet every 10 feet). The tractor could overturn and 

cause serious injury.

Mow up and down slopes, NEVER across.

• 

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on 

• 

slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden 

• 

objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall 

grass can hide obstacles.
Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must be 

• 

made, turn down the slope. Turning up a slope greatly 

increases the chance of a roll over.
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary 

• 

to stop while driving up a slope, start up smoothly and 

carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor 

over backward.

Engaging the PTO (Blade Engage) transfers power to the cutting 

deck or other (separately available) attachments. To engage the 

blades, proceed as follows:

Move the throttle control lever to the FAST (rabbit) 

1. 

position.
Grasp the PTO 

2. 

(blade engage) lever and pivot it all the way 

forward into the engaged (ON) position.
Keep the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the 

3. 

most efficient use of the cutting deck or other (separately 

available) attachments.

In the Reverse Caution Mode the engine will 

automatically shut off if the PTO is engaged with the speed 

control lever in position for reverse travel with the ignition key in 

the NORMAL MOWING position. 

To raise the cutting deck, move the deck lift lever to the left, then 

place it in the notch best suited for your application. Refer to 

Setting The Cutting Height earlier in this section.

To help avoid blade contact or a 

thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, 

children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine 

while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone 

enters the area.

The following information will be helpful when using the cutting 

deck with your tractor:

Plan your mowing pattern to avoid 

discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks, 

bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging 

material against a wall or obstruction which may 

cause discharged material to ricochet back toward 

the operator.

Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit 

• 

or grass collector is installed.
For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be 

• 

cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the 

first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge 

to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a 

better appearance to the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed 

• 

growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should always be done with the engine at full 

• 

throttle. 
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back 

• 

over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut. 
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and 

• 

extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, 

NOT clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. 

• 

Refer to Cutting Blades in the Service section of this manual 

for proper blade sharpening instructions.
