Safety Section 1-6

SAFETY

Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no

bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the

implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power

lines.

(S3PT-5)

This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this

equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,

concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot

violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the Implement to

contact obstacles.

(S3PT-12)

Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to

make yourself aware of any area underground lines or cables. Contact with buried lines or

cable could result in serious injury or death.

(SBH-6)

Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor

engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source of the vibration. If Mower blades are

missing or damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been

replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in

component failure and 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 Mower to be operated with blades missing.

(SFL-4)

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-

over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or

even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover

when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

(SG-7)

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set

the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the

engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever

into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a

Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the

tractor seat only.

(SG-9)

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

(SG-10)
