5WPMAN0705 (Rev. 5/9/2008)
Figure 27. Chain Shield Installed (GM3054 Only)
Full chain shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing
condition.
It is possible for objects to ricochet
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
1. Install chain shielding plate (3) to rear mower frame
as shown.
2. Secure with carriage bolts (14) and flanged lock
nuts (15).
3. Insert carriage bolts from bottom upward as
shown.

(GM3060 & GM3072 Only)
NOTE: Figure 28 shows GM3060. Other models use
the same assembly instructions.
NOTE: This kit allows mower to fit only Cat. 1 standard
ASAE quick hitch.
