9. OPERATING THE BOOM UNIT AND ATTACHED HEAD

THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND MOWER AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOW. The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of this manual and the tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the unit without complete operating instructions.

To ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment and before starting any mowing operation. The operator must become familiar with the area to be mowed, and any obstacles and hazards contained within. Special attention should be paid to foreign debris, overhead obstructions, rough terrain, steep slopes, passersby and animals in the area.

Only operate the mower head from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. Only operate a boom and equipped head on cab-ed tractor that is equipped with a Lexan® protected right side window or a non- cab-ed tractor equipped with a ROPS and operator safety screen.

Avoid operating in the reverse direction when possible. In situations where the boom and mower must be backed to access areas to be cut, make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the tractor. When backing, operate the tractor at a much reduced ground speed to ensure complete control of the unit is maintained.

WARNING! Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.

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.

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.

WARNING! Never operate the mower head tilted down where the operator can see the blades of the mower. The blade could throw an object toward the operator causing serious injury or death. Never operate the mower without an Operator Protective Structure. Always were safety glasses and a hard hat.
