- Be sure safety locks are in place when working
on decks in the raised position. The tractor hydraulic system
could fail, causing decks to fall and crush anything under them.

Do not handle mower blades with bare hands. Careless or improper
handling may result in serious injury.

Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are mounted tightly
and are in good condition. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively
nicked, worn or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out when
sharpening.
WARNING
- Only original equipment blades should be used
when replacing worn out mower blades. They are made of
special steel alloys and subjected to rigid heat-treat and inspection
requirements. Substitute blades may not meet these rigid
specifications and MAY BE DANGEROUS.
