SAFETY
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)
DANGER!
Do not turn so sharp or lift mower so high to produce a severe
"knocking" of the Driveline which will cause accelerated wear and
breakage of drive train components and could result inpossible injury
from the separated Driveline sections. (SRM-4)
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!
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions
of throwing objects for great distances (100 yards
or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow
safety messages carefully
-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed
and in good, workable condition;
-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the
ground without exposed Blades;
-Passerby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been re-
moved.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide
debris that could be struck by the blades, the area should be:
inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected, closely with any remaining debris being removed,
and mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce
power requiredto mow, reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain,
spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and make the final
cut more uniform.)
(SRM-1)
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
WARNING!
Avoid mowing in the reverse direction when possible. Check to
make sure there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme
care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed
where you can safely operate and control the Tractor and Mower.
Never mow an area in the reverse direction that you have not
inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-13)
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)
