OPERATING EQUIPMENT SAFELY

Never allow persons to stand between power unit and mower while backing power unit up
to hitch the mower.
 Before hitching mower to power unit, place transmission in neutral, set park brake, and
turn engine off. Remove the ignition key.
 Make sure locking collar on PTO shaft is properly locked. If the PTO shaft comes off
during operation, personal injury or equipment damage could result.
 Always install safety chains properly when hitching mower to power unit.
 Tall grass can hide obstacles. Carefully walk the entire area to be mowed beforehand. Look
for debris, rocks, tree limbs etc. that will damage or be thrown by the mower blades.
Identify objects that cannot be removed. Set mower cutting height to avoid contact.
 Ensure that no bystanders are within 25 ft of mower when wing transport locks are
released.
 Keep all bystanders well away from the machine when it is operating. Always maintain a
safe operating distance of 300 ft from personnel, other equipment, or
vehicles.
 Never operate the mower with deflectors or guards removed. Mower
blades can cause small objects and debris to be thrown from under the
mower deck at high speeds, up to 300 ft away. Objects ejected by the
mower blades can cause severe injury.
 Never tamper with safety devices or operate the mower with them
removed. Check proper operation regularly.

Always disengage PTO, turn power unit off and remove key before dismounting, for any
reason.
 Never place hands or feet under mower deck when the mower is operating or power unit
engine is running.
 Disengage the PTO when crossing gravel areas or roadways.
 Disengage the PTO and turn power unit off upon striking any object. Inspect mower and
repair any damage before continuing.

If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally during operation, stop the mower, shut
down power unit, and immediately check for the cause. Excess vibration is generally an
indication of a problem. Replace bent or damaged parts, do not attempt to straighten a bent
blade.
 Use extreme care when operating on uneven terrain.

Reduce speed when operating on slopes during wet conditions, especially when making
sharp turns.
 Do not use the mower in limited visibility (e.g. at dusk, in fog, heavy rain etc.). Mow only
in daylight or good artificial light.
 Disengage PTO and ensure blades are completely stopped before raising wings.
