Safety Warnings
Attaching/Detaching Cutter
NEVER WORK ON THE ROTARY MOWER WITH
THE POWER ON.
Care must be taken when operating on uneven terrain, ditches, or em-
bankments. The chances of the tractor and/or mower rolling over are in-
creased. Also, the chance of objects being thrown by the blade are in-
creased when operating under these adverse conditions.
Rollover
Before approaching any rotary mower or before dismounting the tractor,
always make sure of the following:
The tractor transmission is in the parking gear, and the parking brake is set
to keep the tractor from moving while unattended.
The tractor PTO is disengaged.
The engine has stopped, the key is out of the ignition, and all moving parts
(both tractor and mower) have completely stopped. The rotating parts of
the tractor and rotary may mower continue to rotate after the PTO has been
disengaged.
THE OPERATOR SHOULD REMAIN SEATED UNTIL ALL
MOVEMENT HAS CEASED!
Never use equipment around railroad tracks without direct railway supervision.
Inexperience in railway operations may cause loss of communications, loss of
signals, rail and tie damage or derailment.
NEVER cross railway tracks anywhere other than at normal traffic crossings.
Unauthorized machinery on railways are in extreme danger of being struck by
locomotives and railway machinery resulting in damaged equipment, serious
injury or death.
If operating along roadway, keep equipment within the
lane closest to the
work area
. Never operate equipment against the flow of traffic, which
could possibly result in a head-on collision causing serious injury or death.
