SAFETY
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.

SAFETY
The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific size
vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications). DO NOT use this mower to
cut vegetation above the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of non-vegetative material.
Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Tractor. Operating this Mower in an
application for which it is not designed and/or operating the Mower with the wrong size Tractor
can cause Mower component damage and equipment failure resulting in possible serious injury
or death. (SGM-14)
Do not operate or pull the mower into standing water. When uplift or fan type mower blades
contact water they can be severely deflected downward causing possible failure of blade
resulting in serious boldly injury to the operator or bystanders. (SGM-15)
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower above ground level. Stop the Blades from turning
when the Mower is raised and passersby are within 100 yards. Raising the Mower exposes the
Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and can cause serious injury by
objects thrown from the Blades or by contact with the Blades. (SPU-1)
Disc Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing rocks and other debris for a
considerable distance (50 yards or more) and causing serious bodily injury. Follow safety
messages carefully.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 50 YARDS UNLESS:
-Front Curtain Shield is installed and in good condition. Replace when needed with genuine
Original Equipment Manufacturers parts.
-Mower cutting head is running close to and parallel to the ground surface.
-Passersby are outside the thrown object zone.
-The area to be cut has been cleared of foreign material such as rocks, cans, glass, and debris
NOTE: This Disc mower is not to be used for highway maintenance. (SDM-1)
