Do not modify or alter, or permit anyone to modify or alter, this equipment or any of its
components or any equipment function without first consulting your equipment dealer.
The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes and safety
glasses at all times for protection from injury and items thrown by the machine.
Before leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set the tractor
transmission in parking gear. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or
parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never mount or dismount a moving
tractor. Operate the tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
Many other objects, such as wire, cable, rope or chains can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower. These items in turn could swing outside the deck at
greater speeds than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous. Inspect the
cutting area and remove any such objects before mowing. Never allow the cutting
blades to contact such items.
Be particularly careful while transporting the mower. Turn curves or go up hills at a low
speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor
’s
weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces.
Be certain that the
“Slow Moving Vehicle”
(SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to
be clearly visible and legible. Use flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic
regulations.
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace with authorized service parts
if an excessive amount of wear is present.
Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure
all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining
this machine in good working order.
Do not mount or dismount the tractor while the tractor is mowing. Mount or dismount
the tractor only when it is completely stopped.
