SAFETY

Do not back up this implement when the boom or mower head is extended. Backing could damage the machine or its components.

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.

-Do Not attempt to mow or place the mower head close to burning debris.

-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, gearboxes or hydraulic components such as valves, tanks, pumps and motors. Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from the mower deck.

Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source of the vibration. If Mower blades are

missing or damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the Mower to be operated with blades missing.
