OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued...

zNever allow the cutting blade to contact such items. Cut material higher at first, allowing rotary mower to clear hidden objects. Never assume an area is clear. Always Check!

zAlways stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor en- gine, remove the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow mower blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the tractor running.

zNever place hands or feet under mower with tractor engine running or be- fore you are sure all motion has stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.

zDo not reach or place any part of your body under equipment until it is blocked securely.

zDo not allow riders on the rotary mower or tractor at anytime. There is no safe place for any riders.

zDo not operate unless all personnel, livestock, and pets are several hun- dred feet away to prevent injury by thrown objects.

zNever operate tractor and rotary mower under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the rotating blades.

zThe rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rug- ged use. However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guardrails and concrete abutment. Such impact could cause the 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 cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

zStop mower and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn en- gine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming op- eration.

zStay alert for uneven terrain, holes, rocks, and roots and other hidden haz- ards. Keep away from drop-offs and hazards that could cause roll over.

zUse extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting or operating on hillsides, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful and slow down when turning sharp corners and changing direction on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes. In extremely uneven terrain, rear wheels weights, front tractor weight, and/or tire ballast should be used to improve stability.
