OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the cutter. The operator
must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the cutter, the trac
-
tor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and
safety decals on page 4 to page 6.
This medium-duty cutter is designed for grass and weed mowing and shred -
ding.
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from 3.2 to 8.0 Kph (2 to 5
mph).

Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could
injure people or damage property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, or steel
band shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes
within 300 feet (92 m).
•
This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92 m).

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is
seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching,
removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.

Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an
obstruction. Turn off engine, set parking brake, remove key, inspect, and
repair any damage before resuming operation.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec -
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or
filter mask where appropriate.
TRACTOR STABILITY

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the
tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without
this weight, front tractor wheels could raise up resulting in loss of steer
-
ing. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires,
front tractor weights or front loader. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do
not estimate.

■
Make sure driveline will not bottom out at the shortest length and
that it has at least 1/3 overlap at the longest length.
■
With cutter adjusted to transport position, set upper stop on trac -
tor lift quadrant to prevent cutter from contacting the driveline when
being raised.
