OPERATION
8.1 Foreign Debris Hazard
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.

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 and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
(SGM-06)
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. OPS-F-0051
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 motion to stop, then raise the mower
and move the tractor and mower 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 cuttershafts are balanced
before resuming operation. OPS-F-0052
