Safety Section 1-10
SAFETY
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the Tractor 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. (SBM-5)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
WARNING!
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn
curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear
mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from
the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the
tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control
or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of
steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not
transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position.
Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or
Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Implement as in all power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER!
This machine is often operated in rough terrain conditions that include tall
grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and the like.
Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the
safety of the operator and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. (S3PT-7)
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)
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)
DANGER!
The flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same
rotation as the tractor wheels during forward travel). Never operate the
cutter shaft in the reverse rotation. Operating this mower in reverse
rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of the mower
head.
