Wing And Side Mount Mowers Safety Practices

Raised wing positions reduce shielding protection and increases the thrown object and blade contact hazard risks.

Avoid possible serious injury or death by thrown objects or blade contact from raising and lowering wings during mowing operations:

Do not mow with bystanders within 300 ft (92 m) of the mower.

Be sure no one is near mower while raising or lowering wings.

Shut off the PTO and wait for all rotating elements to stop before raising the mower deck or wing section.

Only raise wing to clear objects in the mowing path or to match ground slope.

Lower raised wing to ground after clearing object or ground slope conditions.

Stop mowing if anyone approaches within 300 ft (92 m) of mowing area.

Ditch Bank Mowing Safety Practices

Use extreme care when mowing ditch banks. Watch for washouts, eroded areas and mowing obstructions along the ditch banks. Hitting obstructions with side-mount or boom mowers may swerve the tractor’s front end toward the ditch.

Operate Safely

Raised wing and boom mower ditch bank operations may reduce the mower’s thrown object shielding effectiveness for the mower operator’s protection.

Use enclosed ROPS cabs, special protective enclosures and other operator shielding available from the manufacturer when performing these operations.

Inspect mowing area and remove or mark all foreign objects and debris to be avoided by mower.

Uneven Terrain Mowing Safety Practices

Tractor and mower stability is reduced on slopes and uneven terrain.

As in all conditions when mowing, use tractors equipped with ROPS and seat belt. Make sure the

ROPS are raised and locked in place and always wear your seat belt.

Prevent tractor and mower overturns and maintain equipment stability control:

Review tractor and mower operator’s manuals for operating safety practices on slopes and uneven terrain conditions. Explain the practices to those users and operators who cannot read.

Avoid extremely steep slope operations.
