Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,
power lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid
ground objects while you are operating. Use care to
avoid hitting these items.
If the mower is operated in conditions that require frequent sharp turning, the mower should be equipped with a
Constant Velocity driveline. CV joints enable the tractor PTO shaft and mower driveline to be angled safely up
to 80 degrees with no damage to the mower or driveline.
Never raise the mower entirely while the blades are
turning. If the mower must be raised higher than 12”
from ground level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait
for all mower rotation to come to a complete stop
before proceeding to raise the mower. NEVER raise
the mower wings while the blades are turning.
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)
When turning, the angle between the tractor and
mower should not be so great that a clattering of the
U-joints occurs. Sharp turns can cause premature
failure of the joints and place pressure on the tractor
PTO shaft and could cause extensive mechanical
damage to the mower and tractor.
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
100 yards in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Mower. Make sure that you can clearly
see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type of item discontinue
mowing. (SGM-1)
