SAFETY
Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices
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)
This Implement may be 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)
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower head. Stop the Blades from turning when the
Mower Head is raised and passersby are within 300 feet. 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)
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
(SBM-4)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working
around overhead obstructions. Never allow the Mower head or boom
within 10 feet of any power line. When working close to overhead
power lines consult your electric company for a safe code of operation.
(SBM-7)
The center of Gravity of Tractors equipped with a Rear-Mounted Boom
Mower is shifted to the rear and removes weight from the front wheels.
Add front ballast until at least 20% of the tractors weight is on the front
wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control, and possibly
injury.
(SBM-10)
The Mower shaft speed must not -
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
- exceed 1800 RPM.
(SBM-15)
Use extreme care and Safety Awareness when using the boom mower head to mulch loose
brush or wood that has fallen on the ground from overhead trimming.
DO NOT
mulch this
debris if bystanders, vehicles, livestock or buildings are within 300 feet of the mower. This
cut debris can be thrown at great velocities and could result in serious injury or even death.
