9.2 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure
there are no foreign objects that the mower
blades could hit or become entangled with.
Remove all foreign objects and debris. If objects
are too big to remove, mark them clearly and be
sure to prevent the mower blades from
contacting them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the
mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the
engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for
all mower rotating motion to stop, then raise the
mower and move the tractor and implement off
the object. Inspect the area and remove, or
mark the location of the debris. Inspect the
condition of the mower and make any needed
repairs immediately. Make sure the blades are
not damaged and the carrier is balanced before
resuming operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened
and only operate the tractor and mower with the
ROPS in the raised position. If the tractor or
mower hits a tree stump, rock, or bump, a
sudden movement could throw you off of the
seat and under the tractor and/or mower. The
seat belt is your best protection from falling off
the tractor and the ROPS provides protection
from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.
OPS-R-0023A
9.3 Bystanders/Passersby Precautions
If a bystander comes within 300 feet of the tractor while the mower is being operated, stop the tractor at once,
idle the engine and disengage the PTO. Do not engage the PTO again until all bystanders are well past the
300 foot distance. OPS-R-0024
