SAFETY

 

 

 

 

DANGER!

Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions

 

of throwing objects for great distances (100 yards or

 

more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow

 

safety messages carefully

DANGER!

WARNING!

CAUTION!

STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:

-Mower Deck Shielding, and Discharge Deflector are installed and in good, working condition;

-Mower section is running close to and parallel with the ground without exposed Blades;

-Passerby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;

-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been removed.

NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris

that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate height, in- spected closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce power requiredto mow, reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut more uniform.)

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the tractor. Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces.

When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the Implement may overturn.

DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these components could cause serious injury or even death. (STI-3)

Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is

very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue Jack for lifting the mower only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury or even death.

On a fully-assembled unit, do not remove the Wing Retaining Strap until hoses are attached to the tractor and the Wing Cylinders are filled with oil. Lower the Wings slowly and carefully. Keep bystand- ers away during operations. (STI-5)
