SAFETY
WARNING! Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions
where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of
the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify
passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type
of items discontinue mowing.
(SGM-1)
DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such
impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very
high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such
obstacles.
(SGM-4)
WARNING! Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before mowing.
Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine
damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be
removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator.
Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all
damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced before
resuming mowing.
(SGM-5)
WARNING! Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then
swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a
situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even
death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any
like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such
items.
(SGM-6)
DANGER! There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or
even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the
operator, bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone
is within 100 yards of mower.
(SGM-2)
DANGER! All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
(but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel
Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields , and
Retractable Door Shields should be used and main-
tained in good working condition. All safety devices
should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing
or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items
must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of
injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or
blade contact.
