bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the
implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or
overhead power lines. (S3PT-05)
This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this Mower.
REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in grass and in heavy weeds. The Blades of
this Mower can throw objects if shields are not properly in stalled and maintained. Serious
injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator,
bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the
immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone is within 100 yards of mower. (SFL-1)
Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor
engine. In sp ect the Mowe r to dete rm ine th e source of the vibration. If Mowe r blad es 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. (SFL-4)
