Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a
mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the Tractor and
perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could occur from
not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition.
(SG-36)
Avoid contact with hot surfaces of the engine or muffler. Use gloves and eye protection when
servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid can cause serious injury from burns
or scalding.
(SG-38)
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result serious
injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the decks are
securely blocked up.
(SGM-9)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around utility and municipal
obstructions. Never allow the Mower to contact any utility, municipal, or other type structure.
Clearly mark all mowing obstructions and consult local utility providers for a safe code of
operation.
(SPU-5)
Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing. Entanglement of the clothing
with the rotating elements can result in serious injury or even death. Stay clear of all rotating
elements at all times.
(SSP-3)
Never leave the Tractor and Implement 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)
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no bystanders
are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the implement when folding
or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.
