(SGM-11)
DANGER!
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on the
Mower. Never work on the Mower with the tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Blades or
Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death. (SRM-3)
WARNING!
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-7)
DANGER!
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.

DANGER!
When the cutting head is folded for transport, the center of gravity of the Tractor is raised and
the possibility of overturn or tip-over is increased. Serious injury or even death could result
from a tractor turnover. Turn slowly and use extra care on hillsides. Never fold the cutting
head while on a hillside as the tractor might overturn. (SDM-2)
WARNING!
Disc Mowers rotate at a very high rate of speed (3000 RPM). Vibration due to missing, broken,
or unbalanced components may cause serious imbalance and lead to rapid failure of
components and possible bodily injury from components failure or thrown objects. KEEP
BLADE BOLTS AND DISC ATTACHING BOLTS TIGHTENED TO A SPECIFIED IN
OPERATORS MANUAL TO ASSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ASSEMBLIES. (SDM-3)

death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator, bystanders, or
passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop
mowing if anyone is within 50 yards of mower. (SDM-4)
