SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Do not operate or transport equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.

Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Always sit in power unit seat when operating controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake, and ensure all other controls are disengaged before starting power unit engine.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q Series cutters). Do not exceed.

Raise or lower wings slowly to prevent personal injury or damage to cutter.

Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and can result in personal injury or death.

Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operating in reverse.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not stop, start, or change directions sud- denly on slopes.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.

Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.

Continuous operation while the clutch is slip- ping could cause heat build-up resulting in fire. Adjust slip clutch pressure by tightening springs to the dimension shown in the “Owner Service” sec- tion. If clutch is set to minimum spring length, replace the friction disks as shown.

On pull-type or semi-mounted units with optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended

length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

MAINTENANCE

Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug- ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu- tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres- sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

Before working underneath, disconnect driveline from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cutter, and pin transport bar in raised position. Attach park- ing jack and lower to ground. Securely block all four corners of center section and each wing with jack- stands. Blocking up prevents the cutter from drop- ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or mechanical component failure.

Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.

Your dealer can supply original equipment hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute parts may not meet original equipment specifica- tions and may be dangerous.

To prevent contamination during maintenance and storage, clean and then cover hose ends, fit- tings, and hydraulic ports with tape.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body under- neath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect- edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper- ator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.
