!WARNING
Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports or by locking the hydraulics before working around or under a raised deck. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when power to the hydraulics is shut off.
!DANGER
Do not raise cutter higher than 16 1/2" off the ground. Raising cutter higher can cause serious bodily injury and/or death. Use safety limit chain to limit cutter height.
