SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

(Safety Rules continued from previous page)

Make sure driveline guard tether chains are attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline before putting equipment into service.

Before starting power unit, check all equipment driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive- lines, repair and replace bearings before putting equipment into service.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Remove accumulated debris from this equip- ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar when transporting unit.

Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

Do not operate PTO during transport.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not operate or transport equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The maximum transport speed for towed and semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h). Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s max- imum transport speed. Doing so could result in:

•Loss of control of the implement and tractor

•Reduced or no ability to stop during braking

•Implement tire failure

•Damage to the implement or its components.

Use additional caution and reduce speed when under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on inclines.

Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.

Do not put this equipment into service unless all side skids are properly installed and in good condi- tion. Replace if damaged.

A minimum 20% 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, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

TRANSPORTATION

Always raise unit and install transport locks before transporting. Leak down or failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equip- ment to drop.

OPERATION

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

Never walk, stand, or place yourself or others under a raised wing or in the path of a lowering wing. Hydraulic system leak-down, hydraulic sys- tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause wings to drop unexpect- edly and cause severe injury or death.

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or dam- age property.

•If this machine is not equipped with full chain or rubber shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone 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 direct discharge toward people, animals, or property.
