and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and
operating instructions, prior to using.
2. Do not operate the tractor and mower when you are tired, sick or when using
medication.
3. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least several hundred feet from a rotary mower.
Only properly trained people should operate this machine.
4. When this machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure
persons or property, standard equipment safety chain shielding (which is designed
to reduce the possibility of thrown objects) must be installed.
5. The majority of accidents involve entanglements on the driveline, injury of
bystanders by objects thrown by the rotating blades, and operators being knocked
off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by the mower. Accidents
are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to someone who
has not read the operator’s manual and is not familiar with a rotary mower.
6. Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition
key, lower implement to the ground and allow mower blades to come to a complete
stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the tractor
running.
7. Never place hands or feet under mower with tractor engine running or before you
are sure all motion has stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.
8. Do not allow riders on the mower or tractor at any time. There is no safe place for
riders.
9. Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock and pets are several hundred feet
away to prevent injury by thrown objects.
10.Before backing up, disengage the mower and look behind carefully.
11.Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating.
12.Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
13.This rotary mower is designed for use only on tractors with 540 rpm power take off.
14.Never operate tractor and mower under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can
be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the rotating blades.
15.The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guard
rails and concrete abutments. Such impact could cause the 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 cutting blades to contact such
obstacles.
16.Frequently check mower blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks and
securely fastened.
17.Stop mower immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn engine off, remove key,
inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.
18.Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep
away from drop-offs.
19.Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on
hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful
when turning sharp corners.
