Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure

there are no fore ign objects that the mower blades

could hit or become entangled with. Remove all

foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to

remove, mark them clearly and be sure to prevent

the mower blades from contacting them.

If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the

mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the

engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for all

mower rotating motion to stop, then raise the

mower and move the tractor and implement off the

object. Inspect the area and remove, or mark the

location of the debris. Inspect the condition of the

mower and make any needed repairs immediately.

Make sure the blades are not damaged and the

carrier is balance d be fo re res um in g op er at ion .

only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS

in the raised position. If the tractor or mower hits a

tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement

could throw you off of the seat and under the
