Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, turn engine off,
lower wings to cutting position and relieve hydraulic pressure
before performing any maintenance.

Observe and perform proper lock-out procedures for power unit if

Never work on raised mower decks without safety locks in place.

Periodically check condition of safety devices, guards, and
deflectors. Replace only with manufacturer’s recommended
parts.

Inspect and replace damaged blades. Use only original OEM
parts. Blades can fail from poor maintenance practices.

Handle mower blades carefully. They are sharp and can cut
unprotected skin. Use caution and wear gloves when handling
them.

Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged,
and are routed to avoid chafing.

Immediately replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs of
swelling, wear, leaks or damage so it does not burst.

piece of cardboard instead.

causing serious injury. If skin penetration occurs, seek medical
attention immediately. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting
hoses.

Do not bend or strike hydraulic lines, tubes or hoses, or reinstall
them in a bent or damaged condition.

Inspect tires daily for wear or damage. Check tire pressures
weekly with an accurate pressure gauge. Do not inflate tires
