Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for
great distances (100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or death.
Follow safety messages carefully.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed and in good,
workable condition;
-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material such as
rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE:
Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that
could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris
removed, mowed at an intermediate height, inspected, closely with any
remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final height.
(This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce wear and tear on the
Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and make the
final cut more uniform).
(SRM-1)
10.3 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. The implement
must be completely lowered and the deck positioned at a safe operating height. NEVER engage the PTO with
the implement in the raised position.
Set the tractor engine speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to
the on position, and slowly increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at the rated speed. If you
hear unusual noises or see or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the
implement to determine the cause of the noise or vibration and repair the abnormality.
OPS-U- 0027
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason,
including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the Cutting
Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious
injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades.
(SRM-7)
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.
