10. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
Before starting any mowing operation, the operator must become familiar with the area to be mowed and any
obstacles and hazards contained within to ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment. Special
attention should be paid to foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and passersby and animals in the area.
10.1 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure there
are no foreign objects that the mower blades could hit
or become entangled with. Remove all foreign objects
and debris. If objects are too big to remove, mark
them clearly and be sure to prevent the mower blades
from contacting them.
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose
objects such as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect
the area before mowing. Foreign objects should be removed
from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury
or even death. Any objects that cannot be removed must be
clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop
mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair
all damage and make certain the blade carrier is balanced
before resuming mowing.

DANGER!
WARNING!
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating
parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities
than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even
death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any like object from the
site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
