5.3
OPERATING PROCEDURES _________________________________________________
1.
Under no circumstances should the engine be
started without the operator seated on the tractor.
2.
Do not operate tractor or attachments with loose,
damaged or missing components. Whenever
possible mow when grass is dry.
3.
First mow in a test area to become thoroughly
familiar with the operation of the tractor and control
levers.
Never operate the reels unless they are mowing
grass. Heat will develop between the bedknife and
reel and damage the cutting edge.
4.
Study the area to determine the best and safest
operating procedure. Consider the height of the
grass, type of terrain, and condition of the surface.
Each condition will require certain adjustments or
precautions. Only use accessories and attachments
approved by Jacobsen.
5.
Never direct discharge of material toward
bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine
while in operation. The owner/operator is
responsible for injuries inflicted to bystanders and/or
damage to their property.
6.
Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas
(roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc.). Stones
discharged from the implement may cause serious
injuries to bystanders and/or damage the
equipment.
7.
Always turn reel switch off to stop blades when not
mowing.
8.
Disengage the drive motors and raise the reels
when crossing paths or roadways. Look out for
traffic.
9.
Stop and inspect the equipment for damage
immediately after striking an obstruction or if the
machine begins to vibrate abnormally. Have the
equipment repaired before resuming operation.
10. Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Read
Section 5.8. Use caution when operating near drop
offs.
11. Look behind and down before backing up to be sure
the path is clear. Use care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, tress or other objects that may
obscure vision.
12. Never use your hands to clean cutting units. Use a
brush to remove grass clippings from blades. Blades
are extremely sharp and can cause serious injuries
CAUTION
To help prevent injury, always wear safety glasses, leather work shoes or boots, a hard hat, and ear protection.
!
CAUTION
Before mowing, pick up all debris such as rocks, toys
and wire which can be thrown by the machine. Enter a
new area cautiously. Always operate at speeds that
allow you to have complete control of the mower.
!
WARNING
Before you clean, adjust, or repair this
equipment, always disengage all drives, lower
implements to the ground, engage parking brake,
stop engine and remove key from ignition switch
to prevent injuries.
