BE-RCXXXG USER MANUAL
PREPARATION
Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely understand this manual, the DO
NOT operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely understood this manual, the Tractor
Operator’s Manual and each of the messages found on the safety decals on the tractor and mower.
Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes and gloves are recommended
during the assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, repairing, removal or moving the
implement.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry and be sure to contain long hair around equipment.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without mower attached can often create enough noise to cause permanent hearing loss.
We recommend that you use hearing protection if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80db. Long-
term exposure to noise levels over 80db can cause severe hearing loss. Long-term exposure to noise levels
over 90db adjacent to the operator may cause permanent total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noises (from tractors, chain saws, radios and other sources close to the ear) is
cumulative over a lifetime, with no chance of natural recovery.
Always wear your seatbelt. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor particularly
during a rollover when the operator could be trapped under the ROPS or the tractor.
Clear area to be cut of stones, branches and other debris that might be thrown causing injury or damage.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Ensure mower is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
Ensure all safety guards and safety decals are properly installed and in good condition.
STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY
Check the tractor master guard over the PTO shaft. Make sure it is in good condition and fastened securely
to the tractor. Purchase a new guard if old guard is damaged or missing.
All tractors that are not equipped with a “live” Power Take Off (PTO) need to be equipped with an over-
running PTO clutch. These are available through most farm equipment stores.
NOTE: The addition of an over-running PTO clutch may change the length of the PTO driveline required.
Pay extra attention to the instructions on the PTO driveline installation.
Be sure that the driveline system guarding is sufficient.
Mower operating power is supplied from tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for PTO engagement and
disengagement instructions. Know how to stop the tractor and mower quickly in case of an emergency.
The engine RPM should always be at idle speed when engaging the PTO. Once engaged and you are ready
to start cutting, increase the PTO speed to approximately 540 RPM and maintain throughout the cutting
operation.
The use of this equipment is susceptible to certain hazards that cannot be protected against by mechanical
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual,
paying close attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all assistants and bystanders several hundred
feet from the operating Rough Cutting Mower.
When machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure persons or property,
operation must be stopped if anyone comes within a few hundred feet.
The majority of the accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of bystanders by the objects
thrown by the rotating blades and operators being knocked off are most likely to occur with machines that
are then being run over by the mower. Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or
rented to someone who has not read the owner’s manual and is not familiar with a Rough Cutting Mower.
The Rough Cutting Mower is designed for use on tractors with a 540-RPM power take off. Install and secure
all guards and shields before starting or operating. The discharge chute, flaps, driveline guards and tractor
guards should be used and maintained in good working condition.
They should be inspected carefully daily for missing or broken cables, chain links, shields and guards.
Worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury. Disengage Power Take Off (PTO)
and place tractor transmission in neutral before attempting to start engine.
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope or chains, can become entangled in the working parts of the
mower. These objects could then swing outside the housing at a greater velocity than the blades. Such an
occurrence is extremely hazardous. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any foreign objects from the site.
