SAFETY

When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement. (S3PT-17)

Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause personal injury. (S3PT-18)

Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1500 pound contact with the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel tread and

add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Couterweight Procedure.

Do Not attempt to raise or lower the boom or mower head unless the Implement is securely attached to the Tractor. The Implement could tip over and cause equipment damage and possible serious injury or death. Do Not use the boom controls to assist in installing the

implement on the tractor. Raise or Lower the boom and mower head only while seated in the Tractor operator’s seat with the seat belt securely fastened. Inadvertent contact with the boom controls could allow a component to fall. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these components could cause serious injury or even death.
