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 |
| 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. |
WARNING! | Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with |
| adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions |
| where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of |
| the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify |
| passersby, steep slopes, ditches, |
| lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type |
| of items discontinue mowing. |
DANGER! | There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of |
| this Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy |
| brush and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw |
| objects if shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious |
| injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the |
| safety of the operator, bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not |
| operate this machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop |
| mowing if anyone is within 100 yards of mower. |
DANGER! | All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including |
| (but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel |
| Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields , and |
| Retractable Door Shields should be used and main- |
| tained in good working condition. All safety devices |
| should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing |
| or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items |
| must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of |
| injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or |
| blade contact. |
DANGER! | The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for |
| rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, |
| solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such |
| impact could cause the 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 cutting blades to contact such |
| obstacles. |
