Follow Safe Operating Procedures

CAUTION: To help prevent severe injury or death to you or someone else:

Never operate mower-conditioner when other people are in the vicinity. Stones and other objects can be thrown great distances by the rotating cutting blades. Keep curtains in place to reduce the potential for thrown objects.

Operate mower-conditioner only with a tractor equipped with a complete operator enclosure, always close doors and windows of operator enclosure before operating the machine.

Before starting machine, lower platform to the ground. Engage tractor PTO and gradually increase the speed.

Operate tractor at rated PTO speed. If engine speed is too slow or too fast, machine may not perform properly.

Where conditions make it necessary to slow ground speed, shift to a lower gear rather than reducing engine speed. The engine will maintain rated speed and keep conditioner and cutterbar running at optimum mowing and conditioning speed.

Operate machine from tractor seat only.

Never adjust machine while in motion.

Slow down when turning or travelling over rough ground.

Engage tractor parking brake, place transmission in "Park", disengage PTO, shut off tractor engine and remove key before leaving the tractor unattended.
