OPERATION

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the cutter. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the cutter, the tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 7 to page

12.Be sure to complete the Pre-Operation check list on 19 before operating this Cutter.

This medium-duty cutter is designed for grass and weed mowing and shredding.

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

Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure peo- ple or damage property.

•If this machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, or steel band 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 allow riders on power unit or attachment.

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

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.

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

CAUTION

Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.

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.

TRACTOR STABILITY

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.
