Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices
WARNING!
Never leave the Tractor and Implement 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)
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-

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.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UN-
LESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good,
working condition;
-Mower Head is running close to and parallel to the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passersby 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 removed.
NOTE:
Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: in-
spected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected closely with any remaining debris removed,
and mowed again at desired final height.
(SBM-1)
DANGER!
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower head. Stop the Blades
from turning when the Mower Head is raised and passersby are within
100 yards. Raising the Mower head exposes the Cutting Blades
which creates a potentially serious hazard and can cause serious
injury by objects thrown from the Blades or by contact with the Blades.
(SBM-2)
WARNING!
Never Leave the mower unattended while the head is in the
raised position. The mower could fall causing serious injury
to anyone who might inadvertently be under the mower.
