SAFETY

DANGER!

WARNING!

WARNING!

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.

STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UN- LESS:

-Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good, working condition;

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

-Passersby 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: in- spected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate height, inspected closely with any remaining debris being re- moved, and mowed again at desired final height. (SFM-6)

Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1,000 pounds contact with the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel tread and add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Counterweight Procedure. (SFL-3)

Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source of the vibration. If Mower blades are missing or damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the Mower to be operated with blades missing. (SFL-4)

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any WARNING! 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-7)

Never leave Tractor and Implement unattended while the implement is in WARNING! the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor, lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground.

Do not put hands or feet under lifted components. (SPT-1)
