NEVER
operate a rotary mower with a person or animal in the
area. The blades may throw objects for great distances and can
strike a person, passersby, or animal causing serious injury or
death.
Safety Warnings
Stop operation of the machine for a passerby or if someone appears to be approaching the area.
Objects can be thrown for hundreds of yards at great speed.
ALWAYS
inspect the deflector shields and/or chain guards daily to ensure
that they are in proper working order and that no chains are missing. If the
deflector shields or chain guards are not operating correctly, chain links are
missing, or the complete deflector shields or chain guards assembly is
missing, do not operate the mower.
NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER
WITHOUT CHAIN GUARDS OR DEFLECTORS IN PROPER
WORKING ORDER.
Operations
Rocks, gravel, wire, rope, bricks, or similar objects are potential hazards for
rotary mowers operation. These items can cause damage to the machine; but
more importantly, they can be ejected from underneath the mower at very high
speeds, resulting in property damage, injury or even death. Always inspect the
mowing area prior to the operation of any rotary mower. If any of these objects
or similar objects are found, remove them immediately before operation.
NEVER
operate the mower without the driveline safety shields in place and in
proper working order. Operation without safety shields can lead to injury or
death.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
—Make sure all gearbox shields are in place and tightened be-
fore operating the mower. If one works loose, stop mowing and tighten immediately.
NEVER
OPERATE THE MOWER WITHOUT ALL GEARBOX SHIELDS PROPERLY IN-
STALLED. OPERATION WITHOUT SAFETY SHIELDS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS IN-
JURY OR DEATH.
This mower can be ordered from the factory as either a 540 or 1000 RPM machine. Al-
ways make sure that the tractor and mower have the same PTO speed. Check the tractor
manufacture’s instruction manual for the proper engine RPM to achieve the proper PTO
speed.
DO NOT
operate the mower at any higher RPM, doing so will cause damage to the
mower as well as create an extreme hazard to the operator, passersby, or animals. Also
note that doing so will void the warranty of the machine.
