SAFETY
DANGER!
This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating
or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running
into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other
solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor
to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or
even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)
WARNING!
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline
to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the
Mower resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and
mower failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the
driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or
equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match
the Tractor PTO. (S3PT-14)
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)
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. (3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
DANGER!
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before
performing service on the Implement. Never work on the Implement with
the tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Rotating Parts, Blades
or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate
entanglement, injury or death. (S3PT-11)
WARNING!
Before operating the Mower, check to make sure the Implement input
driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs
when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly
becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious
damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and
through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking
it off. A broken drive line can cause personal injury. (S3PT-18)
WARNING!
Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while
turning. Implements carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the
tire path when making turns. Contacting a solid object while turning
will cause equipment damage and possible injury. (S3PT-20)
