OPERATION
Safety is a primary concern in the design
and manufacture of our products. Unfortu-
nately, our efforts to provide safe equipment
can be wiped out by a single careless act of
an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration
of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the aware-
ness,
prudence
and
proper training
of personnel involved in the operation,
maintenance and storage of
equipment.
It
has been said 'the best safety device is an
informed, careful operator'. We ask you to
be
that kind of an operator.
The operator is responsible for the safe operation
of this mower. The operator must be properly
trained and qualified. Operators should be familiar
with the mower and tractor and
all
safety practices
before starting operation. Read the safety informa-
tion on pages
4-7.
This mower is designed for lawn
or
grass mowing.
It is not designed for rough conditions
or
heavy
weed mowing.
It
is equipped with suction type
blades for best results in lawn mowing.
Recommended mowing speed for most condi-
tions is from
two
to five mph.
Do
children or unqualified per-
sons to operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment
while it
is
in
operation.
Before working underneath, raise mower,
install transport lock and block mower
securely. Hydraulic system leak down and
failure of mechanical
or
hydraulic system
can cause equipment to drop.
Keep all persons away from operato'r
control area while performing adjust-
ments, service
or
maintenance.
Operate tractor mid-PTO at no more than
2400
RPM (maximum governed engine
RPM).
Make sure mower driveline
vated locking collar slides freely and the

Stop mower and tractor immediately upon
striking an obstruction. Turn
off
engine,
remove key, inspect and repair any dam-
age before resuming operation.

clothing to avoid entanglement in moving
parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work
shoes and protective equipment for eyes,
hands, hearing and head.
