Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires
while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor:
-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accessible location.
-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust.
-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.
-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage
and plate heating.
-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches,
and gearboxes. Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean
clippings and collected debris from the mower deck.

repairs may cause severe vibration and/or component failure resulting
in parts being thrown from the mower causing serious bodily injury.
See your Authorized Dealer for proper repairs.
(SGM-13)
DANGER! The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to
cut up to a specific size vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment
and Specifications). DO NOT use this Mower to cut vegetation above
the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of non-vegetative
material. Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped
Tractor. Operating this Mower in an application for which it is not
designed and/or operating the Mower with the wrong size Tractor can
cause Mower component damage and equipment failure resulting in
possible serious injury or death.
(SGM-14)
WARNING! Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type,
density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph.
Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches,
drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign
objects are to be avoided.
(SGM-7)
WARNING! Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there
are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in
reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and
control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you have not
inspected and removed debris or foreign material.
