SAFETY
DANGER!
Make sure the PTO shield is installed when using PTO-driven
equipment. Always replace the PTO shield if it is damaged or missing.
(S3PT-8)
DANGER!
Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY
CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSE-
QUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
BLADES. (SGM-10)
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of
this Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in weeds
and in heavy grass. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or
even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the
operator, bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone
is within 100 yards of mower. (SFM-1)
DANGER!
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
(but not limited to) - the Discharge Deflectors, Steel
Guards, Gearbox Shields, Belt Shileds, and PTO Shields
should be used and maintained in good working condi-
tion. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at
least daily for missing or broken components. Missing,
broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to
reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown
objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SFM-2)
DANGER!
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse condi-
tions of throwing objects for great distances
(100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or
death. Follow safety messages carefully
-Mower Deck Shielding, and Discharge Deflector are installed
and in good, working condition;
-Mower section is running close to and parallel with the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could be struck by the
blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate height,
inspected closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final
height. (This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain,
spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut more uniform.) (SFM-3)
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
DANGER!
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on the
Mower. Never work on the Mower with the tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Blades
or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death. (SRM-
