bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the
implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power
lines.
(S3PT-5)
This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot
violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the Implement to
contact obstacles.

make yourself aware of any area underground lines or cables. Contact with buried lines o

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.
