SAFETY
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underground lines or cables. Contact with buried lines or
cable could result in serious injury or death.
(SBH-6)
Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor
engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source of the vibration. If Mower blades are
missing or damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been
replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in
component failure and broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of
property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the Mower to be operated with blades missing.
(SFL-4)
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-
over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or
even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.
(SG-7)
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever
into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a
Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the
tractor seat only.
(SG-9)
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and
understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and
Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily.
(SG-11)
Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor
only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.
