Wing And Side Mount Mowers Safety Practices
Raised wing positions reduce shielding protection and
increases the thrown object and blade contact hazard
risks.
Avoid possible serious injury or death by thrown
objects or blade contact from raising and lowering
wings during mowing operations:
— Do not mow with bystanders within 300 ft (92 m) of
the mower.
— Be sure no one is near mower while raising or
lowering wings.
— Shut off the PTO and wait for all rotating elements to
stop before raising the mower deck or wing section.
— Only raise wing to clear objects in the mowing path
or to match ground slope.
— Lower raised wing to ground after clearing object or
ground slope conditions.
— Stop mowing if anyone approaches within 300 ft
(92 m) of mowing area.
Ditch Bank Mowing Safety Practices
Use extreme care when mowing ditch banks. Watch for
washouts, eroded areas and mowing obstructions along
the ditch banks. Hitting obstructions with side-mount
or boom mowers may swerve the tractor’s front end
toward the ditch.

Operate Safely
Raised wing and boom mower ditch bank operations may
reduce the mower’s thrown object shielding effectiveness
for the mower operator’s protection.
— Use enclosed ROPS cabs, special protective
enclosures and other operator shielding available from
the manufacturer when performing these operations.
— Inspect mowing area and remove or mark all foreign
objects and debris to be avoided by mower.
Uneven Terrain Mowing Safety Practices
Tractor and mower stability is reduced on slopes and
uneven terrain.
As in all conditions when mowing, use tractors
equipped with ROPS and seat belt.
Make sure the
ROPS are raised and locked in place and always
wear your seat belt.
Prevent tractor and mower overturns and maintain
equipment stability control:
— Review tractor and mower operator’s manuals for
operating safety practices on slopes and uneven
terrain conditions. Explain the practices to those
users and operators who cannot read.
— Avoid extremely steep slope operations.
