OPERATION

DANGER! The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific size vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications). DO NOT use this Mower to cut vegetation above the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of non-vegetative material. Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Tractor. Operating this Mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the Mower with the wrong size Tractor can cause Mower component damage and equipment failure resulting in possible serious injury or death.

Note: The mower must be equipped with either single or double chain guards at all times. Schulte recommends mowers be equipped with double chain guards for all mowing purposes. Single chain guards may be used for agriculture purposes only and are specifically not recommended for highway, right-of-way, parks or greenbelt mowing.

1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS

Safe operation of the rotary mower is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands both the mower and tractor Operator Manuals and is experienced in tractor and mower operations and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety message decals are affixed to the mower and tractor. If any part of the operation and safe use of the mower and tractor is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a full explanation.

Safe mower operation requires that the operator wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the job conditions while connecting, operating, servicing and repairing the mower and tractor. PPE is designed to provide operator protection from bodily injury and includes the following:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

￿Protective eye glasses, goggles, or face shield

￿Hard hat

￿Steel toed safety footwear

￿Gloves

￿Hearing protection

￿Close fitting clothing

￿Respirator or filter mask

DANGER!

NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to operate the Equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this Equipment when their alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
