„Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

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

„Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.

„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.

„Moving steering levers rapidly from forward to reverse or reverse to forward could cause loss of control.

„Do not operate power unit with attachment removed. Attachment is required for power unit stability.

„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 performing any service or maintenance, lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground cable (negative -).

TRANSPORTATION

„Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

„Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

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

MAINTENANCE

„Before performing any service or maintenance, lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground cable (negative -).

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

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head.

„Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

„Never perform service or maintenance with engine running.

„Never place any part of the body underneath implement/attachment or between its moving parts even when the engine has been turned off. Service work does not require going underneath unit. Mechanical failures, electrical failures, or operating controls can cause equipment to drop.
