SAFETY

WARNING! Disengage PTO before folding wings to prevent instant failure of drivelines and possible severe bodily injury or death.

00763536

WARNING! Failure to use and maintain shields and deflectors in good condition may lead to injury or death from entanglement with rotating parts, being hit by objects thrown with great force by blades, or by contact.

Always replace guards which have been removed for maintenance. Never operate with guards missing or broken.

Chain guards, gearbox, driveline shields, rubber fabric deflectors and solid band enclosures are subject to wear. Lost and broken parts must be repaired or replaced as soon as damage is found.

Safety shields must be installed and in good condition to reduce the possiblity of thrown objects anytime the machine is operated in any area where thrown objects could cause property damage or bodily injury.
