2.1 ROPS and Seat Belt
A Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) and seat belt are essential to protect the operator from falling off the
tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver could be crushed and killed. The ROPS and seat belt must
be used in conjunction with one another. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat
belt fastened. Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features
installed by an authorized tractor dealer.
2.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and mower near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with
proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the
unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning
signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or mower. Never operate the tractor PTO with the
PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.
2. TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power capacity to lift, pull, and operate the Power Take Off
(PTO) at 540 revolutions per minute (rpm) while traveling at a ground speed between 2 and 5 mph. Operating
a mower with a tractor that does not meet the following requirements may cause tractor or mower damage and
be a potential danger to the operator and passersby.
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-over-
protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death
could result from falling off the Tractor--particularly during a turnover when the
operator could be pinned under the ROPS.
(SG-7)
WARNING!
The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing
conditions, the FB42 mower requires a tractor with at least 15 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does
not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding 45 HP may cause mower damage by
overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.
