SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)

Take all possible precautions when leaving unit unattended: Disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key from ignition. Park in level area.

Do not allow riders on the rotary mower or tractor at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.

Disengage power takeoff (PTO) and place transmission into neutral before attempting to start engine.

Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock, and pets are 100 yards away to prevent injury by thrown objects. Never direct discharge toward anyone.

Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from moving parts.

This rotary mower is designed for use only on tractors with 540 RPM power takeoff.

Never operate tractor and mower under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off the trac- tor and then run over by the rotating blades.

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, posts, and concrete abutments. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of prop- erty damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

Frequently check mower blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks and securely fastened.

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. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Removing any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.

Pick up all rocks and other debris before mowing. Enter new areas carefully. Cut material higher at first, allow- ing cutter to clear hidden objects. Never assume an area is clear. Always Check!

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