Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires
while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor:
-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accessible location.
-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust.
-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.
-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage
and plate heating.
-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches,
and gearboxes. Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean
clippings and collected debris from the mower deck.

WARNING!
DANGER!
The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific size
vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications). DO NOT use this Mower
to cut vegetation above the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of non-vegetative
material. Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Tractor. Operating this
Mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the Mower with the wrong
size Tractor can cause Mower component damage and equipment failure resulting in possible
serious injury or death. (SGM-14)
WARNING!
Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised
position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the mower to
suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might inadvertently be
under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under
lifted components. (SPU-3)
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!
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)
Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices
DANGER!
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any shield
if it is damaged or missing. (S3PT-8)
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!
Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in
calibration could cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury.
