Whirlwind WW60-10001 manual All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including

	SAFETY
DANGER!	All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
	(but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel
	Guards, Gearbox Shields, Hydraulic Tank 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. (SGM-3)
DANGER!	The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
	rugged use. However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects
	such as steel guard rails and concrete abutments. 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. (SGM-4)
WARNING!	Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as
	gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before mowing.
	Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine
	damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be
	removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator.
	Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all
	damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced before
	resuming mowing. (SGM-5)
WARNING!	Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
	entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then
	swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a
	situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even
	death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any
	like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
	(SGM-6)
WARNING!	Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
	mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type,
	density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph.
	Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches,
	drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign
	objects are to be avoided. (SGM-7)
WARNING!	Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there
	are no persons are behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in
	reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and
	control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area in the reverse direction that
	you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-8)
WARNING!	Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result serious
	injury or even death. (SGM-9)
