SAFETY
WARNING! Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower
deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially
serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death
from objects thrown from the Blades.
(SRM-7)
WARNING! Never leave Tractor and Implemented 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)
WARNING! Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up
hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the
center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding
front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up,
loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over.
Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent
loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not
transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping
implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly
cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.

is installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any

(S3PT-8)
WARNING! Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair
work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or
securely blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor
engine. Push and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several
times prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.
(S3PT-9)

The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off. The
operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO
disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.
