OPERATION

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the mower. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the mower, the trac- tor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on pages 5 to 9.

This mower is designed for light brush shredding and grass mowing. It is especially useful in cane, berry, grape and vegetable crops for mowing and shredding prunings.

Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from 2 to 5 mph.

„Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit, using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.

CAUTION

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

„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 when any- one comes within 300 feet (92 m).

•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).

„Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

„Keep bystanders away from equipment.

„Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

„Before working underneath, carefully read Oper- ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all corners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau- lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures.

„Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

CAUTION

TRACTOR STABILITY

„A minimum 25% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a loader. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.
