10. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND CUTTER
Before starting any cutting operation, the operator must become familiar with the area to be cut and any obstacles
and hazards contained within to ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment. Special attention
should be paid to foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and passersby and animals in the area.
10.1 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before cutting, inspect the area to make sure there
are no foreign objects that the cutter blades could hit
or become entangled with. Remove all foreign objects
and debris. If objects are too big to remove, mark
them clearly and be sure to prevent the cutter blades
from contacting them.
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the Mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could
result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before
mowing. Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact
such items. (SGM-6)
DANGER!
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose
objects such as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect
the area before mowing. Foreign objects should be removed
from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury
or even death. Any objects that cannot be removed must be
clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop
mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair
all damage and make certain the blade carrier is balanced before
resuming mowing. (SGM-5)
