OPERATION
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows
closed.
(SGM-11)
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting.
Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in
front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify
passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and
foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items discontinue mowing.
(SGM-1)
Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons
behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground
speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that
you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.
(SGM-8)
Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires while
operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor:
-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location.
-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust.
-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.
-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and
plate heating.
-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and
gearboxes. Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean clippings
and collected debris from the mower deck.
(SGM-12)
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. OPS-R-0027_B
