PREPARTION

Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely under-
stand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety mes-
sages found on the safety signs on the tractor and mower.
 Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves
are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, repair-
ing, removal, or moving the implement. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing, or jewelry
to be around equipment.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without mowers attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent,
partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if
the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80 db. Noise over 80 db on a long-term basis
can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90 db adjacent to the operator over a long-term
basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from
tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a life-
time without hope of natural recovery.
 Operate the mower only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-Protective Sys-
tem (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury of even death could result from fal-
ling off the tractor — particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under
the ROPS or the tractor.
 Clear area to be cut of stones, branches or 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 that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.
STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY

Check the tractor master shield over the PTO stub shaft. Make sure it is in good con-
dition and fastened securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or
missing.
 All tractors that are not equipped with a “live” power takeoff (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 drive-
line required. Pay extra attention to the instructions on the PTO driveline Installation. Be sure
that the driveline system guarding is adequate.
 Mower operating power is supplied from tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for PTO
engagement and disengagement instructions. Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in
case of an emergency.
 When engaging PTO, the engine RPM should always be at idle speed. Once engaged and
ready to start cutting, raise PTO speed to 540 RPM and maintain throughout cutting opera-
tion.
