OPERATION
Do not mow, or drive the tractor into material that is burning, or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot
spots. Burning material, sparks, and coals could be thrown from the mower to areas of vegetation that might
ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and mower could
ignite resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish possi-
ble fires encountered
.
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-07)
Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be
mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform
cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to
12” or more on the first pass
. OPS-R-0043
Then lower the mower to the desired height and
mow the vegetation a second time. If possible,
select a mowing pattern that is at a 90 degree angle
to the first pass to reduce streaking for a more
uniform cut. OPS-R-0044
