Safety Warnings

 

Operations 

Always inspect the area before mowing for potential mower hazards

.  

Remove or avoid all foreign objects such as wire, cable, metal objects, and 
all other foreign material.  

Failure to do so could result in serious injury 

to the operator or passerby from foreign material being thrown from 
the mower

Thoroughly examine the rotary mower each day before operating. Tighten 
loose bolts, nuts, and hydraulic fittings. Replace all damaged or broken parts, 
including hydraulic hoses. If rotary mowers are not kept in proper working 
order, they could be damaged and this could result in serious injury. 

NEVER engage in repair work under the mower deck or any other 
part of the mower that is raised off the ground until the mower is 
safely and securely supported in the raised position. Inadequate 
support can result in the mower falling, which could result in seri-
ous injury or death. 

Use 

proper signage 

around working area.  This will help the operator 

have a safe place to work, and help passers by to take appropriate 
precautions.  

Use the proper 

reflective devices 

on the equipment to help prevent 

accidents. 

Make sure that all rules of the road are followed, and Slow Moving 
Vehicle (SMV) rules are also observed
