UGR 06/03
WARNING!
Maintain adequate tractor stability to prevent lateral instability and
possible tip-over which could result in serious bodily injury or even
death. Widen the wheel tread and add wheel weights where neces-
sary. Refer to the mounting instructions or call Customer Service
if you need assistance with Couterweight Procedure.
(SSM-2)
WARNING! Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. In the case of
extreme vibration, shut down the Mower and the Tractor engine and
wait until all motion has stopped. Inspect the Mower to determine the
source of the vibration. If any Mower blades are missing or damaged
replace them immediately. Operating the Mower with excessive
vibration can result in component failure and broken objects could be
thrown outward. To reduce the possibility of property damage and
personal injury, never allow the Mower to be operated with excessive
vibration.
(SSM-3)
DANGER! Always disconnect the wire leads from the mower valve solenoid before
performing service on the Tractor or Mower. Use caution when working
on the Tractor or Mower. Tractor engine must be stopped before
working on Mower or Tractor. The Mower Blades could inadvertently be
turned on without warning and cause immediate dismemberment, injury
or death.
(SBM-12)
CAUTION!
Do not back up with this implement. Backing could damage the
machine or its components.
(S3PT-4)
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)
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!
Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in
calibration could cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury.
(SBH-13)
DANGER!
The Mower shaft speed must not - UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES -
exceed 1800 RPM.
(SBM-15)
DANGER!
Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-
Point hitch. Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result
in the Implement falling and possible injury or death. Always securely
block up the Implement before crawling underneath to perform repairs and
service.
