Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs, power
lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid ground
objects while you are operating. Use care to avoid
hitting these items.
If the mower is operated in conditions that require frequent sharp turning, the mower should be equipped with a
Constant Velocity driveline. CV joints enable the tractor PTO shaft and mower driveline to be angled safely up to
80 degrees with no damage to the mower or driveline.
When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the
mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the mower
entirely while the blades are turning. If the mower must
be raised higher than 12” from ground level, disengage
the tractor PTO and wait for all mower rotation to come
to a complete stop before proceeding to raise the mower.
NEVER raise the mower wings while the blades are
turning.
WARNING!
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for
any reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the
Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a
potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or
even death from objects thrown from the Blades. (SRM-7)
When turning, the angle between the tractor and mower
should not be so great that a clattering of the U-joints
occurs. Sharp turns can cause premature failure of
the joints and place pressure on the tractor PTO shaft
and could cause extensive mechanical damage to the
mower and tractor.
