Install Chain or Belt Shielding

Full chain shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing
condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
Install chain and rubber shields with hardware as
shown. (Refer to Figure 36 for Chain Shielding Installa-
tion; Figure 38 and Figure 39 for Belt Shielding Installa-
tion.)
NOTE: Chain Shielding: Install four (two per wing) 6-
link chain sections (17) and four (two per wing) 4-link
chain sections (15) to the wing skid shoes. Secure with
carriage bolts (19) and flange lock nuts (21).
