Follow Safe Operating Procedures

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

Never operate the mower when other people are in the vicinity. Keep debris deflector in the discharge opening at rear of the machine in place.

Before starting the machine, lower it 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, the 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 mower running at optimum cutting speed.

Operate machine from tractor seat only.

Slow down when turning or traveling over rough ground.

Tractor roll-over could result from falling in holes when operating on hill sides.

Shut off tractor engine and engage tractor parking brake and/or place transmission in "Park" when leaving tractor. Remove key when leaving tractor unattended.

Components behind shields may rotate several minutes after power is shut off. Look and listen for evidence of rotation before removing shielding.
