INSTALL SAFETY SHIELDING
Chain Shielding (Optional)
Full chain shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation must be stopped.
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing
condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
The optional chain shielding assemblies are ready for
installation when you receive them.
1.
Refer to
Front & Rear Chain Shielding,
page 42,
and attach as shown by inserting the bolts from
inside the cutter frame out through the shielding.
2.
Install hardware as shown in the parts drawing.
