SAFETY DECALS

1) OPERATOR’S MANUAL

The operator’s manual contains all information neces-
sary to use the machine safely. To avoid any risk of
accident this manual must be carefully read and all
advice observed.

2) MACHINE MAINTENANCE

Before checking any machine malfunction and before
adjusting, maintaining or repairing the machine, dis-
engage the PTO drive, stop the tractor engine, remove
the ignition key and wait until all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.

3) MANOEUVERING ZONE

Crushing hazard.
Stay a safe distance from the machine maneuvering
area.

4) ROTATING TOOLS

Stay clear of mower knives as long as the engine is
running, the PTO drive is engaged and that the knives
have not come to a complete stop.

5) CURTAIN GUARDS

Stones or other foreign bodies can be thrown a long
distance. It is therefore imperative that all mower cur-
tain guards are always in place and in good condition.
Keep a safe distance from the machine.

6) CUTTING TOOLS

Cutting tools and their attaching hardware comply with
safety and reliability criteria that are set by standards
and by the manufacturer. For your own safety and the
good functioning of the machine, we recommend the
use of genuine spare parts only.
