DANGER!
Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN BLADES
SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH
SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
(SGM-10)
WARNING!
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.
(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.
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 Manufactuers parts.

-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)
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)
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of the Disc Mower.
REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in hay, grass , and heavy weeds which could
hide foreign objects. Remove all foreign debris before mowing an area. The Blades of this
mower can throw objects if shields are not installed and maintained. Serious injury or even
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)
