OPERATION
Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,
power lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid
ground objects while you are operating. Use care
to avoid hitting these items. OPS-R-0028
When mowing across uneven areas such as road shoulders, ditch edges, and other uneven terrain, position
mower so that one support wheel is near the highest point to prevent blades from cutting into gravel or dirt
which can cause rapid blade wear and extremely severe shock loads on the drivetrain resulting in rapid wear
or damage to these components. Blades contacting the ground may cause objects to be thrown out from
under the mower deck. Always avoid operating the mower at a height or position which may cause the blades
to contact the ground. Cutting into the berm or edge of the ditch will cause abnormal and accelerated blade
wear and possible blade component failure. OPS-R-0029
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. (SRM-07)
