INTRODUCTION
Your Exten-A-Kut mower is designed for mowing pond embankments, weeds, and grass or other agricul-
tural applications that may apply. With a reasonable amount of preventive maintenance, your Mower will
provide years of dependable service.
For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of
Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts at all times. The Mower manufacturer
strongly recommends the use of Chain Guards or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes
as well, to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from
objects thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.
At least 20% or the tractor’s weight must be on the front tires with the Mower lifted to
provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills,
rough terrain, and curves.
Front and rear and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel, the same as driving an
automobile.
