SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Mower operating power is supplied from tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for PTO engagement and
disengagement instructions. Always operate the tractor PTO in the 540 rpm speed selection. DO NOT OVER
SPEED! Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in case of an emergency.
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, pay-
ing particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manu-
al you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least several
hundred feet from an operating rotary mower. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.
The majority of accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of bystanders by objects thrown by the
rotating blades, and operators being knocked off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by
the mower. Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to someone who has
not read the owner’s manual and is not familiar with a rotary mower.
Check the tractor master shield over the PTO stub shaft. Make sure it is in good condition and fastened
securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or missing. (You may have to use a
tractor salvage yard for replacement parts on older tractors.)
When engaging PTO, the engine RPM should always be low. Once engaged and ready to start cutting, raise
PTO speed to 540 RPM and maintain throughout cutting operation.
STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, lower implement to the
ground and allow cutter blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equip-
ment unattended with the tractor running or with implement in raised position.
Never place hands or feet under mower with tractor engine running or before you are sure all motion has
stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.
Do not reach or place yourself under equipment until it is blocked securely.
