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)
WARNING!
Never leave Tractor and Implemented unattended while the implement is in the lifted position.
Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with
injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor,
lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-
Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted
components.
(SPT-1)
WARNING!
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up
hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move
the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent
rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces
to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do
not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping
implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly
cause the operator or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off.
The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO
disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased. (3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
DANGER!
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is
expensive and its presence could present a hazard. Do not check for
leaks with your hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard.
High-pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the
skin and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil does
penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician
knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
WARNING!
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair
work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work.
(S3PT-9)
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 SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
