SAFETY
Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and
grass fires while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower
and Tractor:
-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accessible
location.
-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe
exhaust.
-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and
Tractor.
-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
-Do Not attempt to mow or place the mower head close to
burning debris.
-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines,
gearboxes or hydrualic componts such as valves, tanks,
pumps and motors. Periodically shut down the Tractor and
Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from the
mower deck.
(SBM-20)
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.
