SAFETY
WARNING! Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn
curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle.
Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove
weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at
least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up,
loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over.
Slow down on rough or uneven
surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property
damage or possible injury.
Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully
raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport
can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause
the operator or others to be injured or killed.
(S3PT-2)
DANGER! Make sure the PTO shield is installed when using PTO-driven equipment.
Always replace the PTO shield if it is damaged or missing.
(S3PT-8)
WARNING! The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has
been turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after
the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all
evidence of rotation has ceased.
(S3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
DANGER! Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the
Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent
movement of the Tractor or Implement may cause serious injury or death.
(SG-29)
DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is expensive
and its presence could present a hazard. Do not check for leaks with your
hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard. High-pressure oil streams
from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated
immediately by a physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
(SG-15)
WARNING! Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair
work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work.
(S3PT-9)
DANGER! There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in weeds and in heavy
grass. 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.
