7.2 Bystander/Passersby Precautions
If a bystander comes within 100 yards of the tractor while the mower is being operated, stop the tractor at once,
idle the engine and turn the motor control to “OFF”. Do not switch the unit to “ON” again until all bystanders are
well past the 100 yard distance.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS in the raised
position. If the tractor or mower hits a tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement could throw you off of the
seat and under the tractor and/or mower The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor and the
ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.
DANGER!
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
-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;
-Passerby 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 requiredto mow,
reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material
better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut more uniform.)
(SRM-1)
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
Before switching the motor control switch to “ON”, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby.
The mower must be completely lowered and positioned at a safe mowing height. NEVER flip the switch to “ON”
with the mower in the raised position.
7.3 Engaging the Motor Control Switch
Start the tractor engine before flipping the motor switch to “ON”. Once the tractor engine is on switch the motor
control to the “ON” position, and slowly increase the engine speed until operating at 540 rpm. If you hear unusual
noises or see or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the mower to determine the
cause of the noise or vibration and repair the abnormality
.
WARNING!
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.
