SAFETY
DANGER!
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices includ-
ing (but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards,
Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields ,
and Retractable Door Shields should be used and
maintained in good working condition. All safety de-
vices should be inspected carefully at least daily for
missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or
worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the
possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, en-
tanglement, or blade contact. (SGM-3)
DANGER!
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures.
Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward
at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property dam-
age, serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to
contact such obstacles. (SGM-4)
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of
this Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy
brush and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw
objects if shields are not properly 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 100 yards of mower. (SGM-2)
WARNING!
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 items discontinue mowing. (SGM-1)
DANGER! Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly
seated in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around
you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or Implement may cause
serious injury or death.
(SG-29)
DANGER!
NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating
the Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or
Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter
medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side
effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate
the Equipment safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate
this equipment when their alertness or coordination is impaired.
Serious injury or death to the operator or others could result if the
operator is under the influnce of drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)
