SAFETY
WARNING!
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass
type, density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0
to 5 mph. Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep
slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when
debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.
(SGM-7)
WARNING!
Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure
there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when
mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can
safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area
that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.
(SGM-8)
DANGER!
Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT
TO STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL
LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH
SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM
THROWN BLADES.
(SGM-10)
WARNING!
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors
with the windows closed.
(SGM-11)
DANGER!
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures.
Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward
at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage,
serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to
contact such obstacles.
(SGM-4)
WARNING!
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects
such as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area
before mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to
prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any
objects that cannot be removed must be clearly marked and care-
fully avoided by the operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades
strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or
blade carrier is balanced before resuming mowing.
(SGM-5)
WARNING!
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could
then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades.
Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury
or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to
contact such items.
