2.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and mower near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or mower. Never operate the tractor PTO with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.
2.3 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing conditions, the A96B lift mower requires a tractor with at least 50 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding 85HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.
