OPERATION
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades.
Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to
12” or more on the first pass.
Then lower the mower to the desired height and mow the vegetation a second time. If possible, select a mowing pattern that is at a 90 degree angle to the first pass to reduce streaking for a more uniform cut.
OPERATION
Do not mow, or drive the tractor into material that is burning, or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot spots. Burning material, sparks, and coals could be thrown from the mower to areas of vegetation that might ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and mower could ignite resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish possi-
ble fires encountered.
