OPERATION
Safety is of primary importance to the owner / operator and to the manufacturer. The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death. Many of the messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner / operator / dealer should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this mower during assembly, use, and maintenance.
The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a signal word, as seen below, is intended to warn the owner / operator of impending hazards and the degree of injury possible during operation.

Before any operation of tractor and mower, the user should read and understand the safety and operating instructions for both the tractor and the mower. The user should also be familiar with the location and functions of the units instruments and controls. Being familiar with the machine and it’s controls will increase efficiency and reduce possibility of
serious injury or damage to the unit. The operator should work slowly and carefully until he feels comfortable with the machine. Speed and skill will be attained much easier if the necessary time is spent to familiarize yourself with the machine and its operations.
Since tractor makes and models vary, we recommend reading and following the operators manual provided by the manufacturer pertaining to your particular unit.
