motion has stopped before dismounting the tractor or
mower.

running properly. Place a “Do Not Operate” tag on
the machine, remove the key and do not operate the

rpm speed.

systems, a rotary mower will have a signifi cant fl ywheel

a transmission-driven PTO system.
The tractor should be equipped and operated as follows:

clutch.

by anticipating turns, stops and speed reductions.
