OPERATION

DANGER!

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 in the reverse direction that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

Use extreme care when transporting the Flex Arm and mower on public highways and roads. The combination of Flex Arm and mower is wider than the tractor. In transport position, the mower is offset to the right of the tractor. Allow ample clearance when transporting the tractor and implements to insure that they do not contact any bystanders, signs, road structures, or other vehicles. Do not allow the trailing mower to go off the road shoulder at high speed. This may cause implements to be unsteady and may cause a roller over, serious injury or even death can occur.

WARNING! Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor: -Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accessible location. -Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust. -Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor. -Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.

-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating.

-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and gearboxes. Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from the mower deck.

DANGER!	Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
	lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
	100 yards in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Mower. Make sure that you can clearly
	see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
	lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type of item discontinue
	mowing. ( S G M - 1)

Never raise the mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all mower rotation to come to a complete stop before proceeding to raise the mower. NEVER raise the mower wings while the blades are turning.

When turning, the angle between the tractor and mower should not be so great that a clattering of the U-joints occurs. Sharp turns can cause premature failure of the joints and place pressure on the tractor PTO shaft and could cause extensive mechanical damage to the mower and tractor.
