DANGER!
Never allow children to operate or ride on the Tractor or Implement.
(SGM-11)
WARNING!
Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the
Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped. (SG-12)
WARNING!
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an
approved roll-over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat
belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the
tractor--particularly during a turnover when the operator could be
pinned under the ROPS. (SG-7)
DANGER!
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
(SG-9)
DANGER!
Flail 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 removed.
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.)
(SFL-6)
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
