WARNING!
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is
very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue
Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to
fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury.
Use the Tongue Jack for lifting the mower only. Overloading the
Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury
or even death. (STI-4)
CAUTION!
On a fully-assembled unit, do not remove the Wing Retaining Strap
until hoses are attached to the tractor and the Wing Cylinders are
filled with oil. Lower the Wings slowly and carefully. Keep bystand-
ers away during operations.

WARNING!
Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight
of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of
vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the
