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)
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)
WARNING!
Never leave Tractor and Implemented unattended while the implement is in the lifted position.
Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with
injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor,
lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-
Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted
components. (S3PT-1)
WARNING!
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills
only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the
center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding
front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up,
loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent
loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not transport
unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in
transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the
operator or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
DANGER!
Make sure the PTO shield is installed when using PTO-driven equipment.
Always replace the PTO shield if it is damaged or missing. (S3PT-8)
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off. The
operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO
disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased. (S3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
WARNING!
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.
(SGM-11)
WARNING!
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work. (S3PT-9)
