SAFETY

DANGER!

WARNING!

DANGER!

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

(SG-10)

Never allow children to operate or ride on the Tractor or Implement.

(SGM-11)

Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

(SG-12)

Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions.

(SG-13)

Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death. (SG-14)

DANGER!

WARNING!

CAUTION!

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)

The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the equipment. (SG-16)

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement

attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause permanent or total hearing loss. Note: Hearing loss from loud noise [from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SG-I7)

Safety Section 1-4DM 07-02

SAFETY

WARNING! Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can result

from operating this equipment at unsafe speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly .

Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the safe transport speeds for you and the equipment.

the following rules:

Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.

Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum safe transport speed for you and this Equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed

through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you

have determined are safe and which allow you to properly control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you andwatch out for the other guy . (SG-19)

Safety Section 1-6DM 07-02

SAFETY

DANGER! All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including

(but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, Hydraulic Tank Shields, and Retractable Door Shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SGM-3)

DANGER!

WARNING!

The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guard rails and concrete abutments. Such impact could cause the 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 cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced before resuming mowing. (SGM-5)

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items. (SGM-6)

Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph. Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.

(SGM-7)

(SGM-4)

WARNING!

DM 07-02

Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons are behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area in the reverse direction that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-8)

Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result serious injury or even death. (SGM-9)

(SGM-10)

Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.

(SGM-11)

Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on the Mower. Never work on the Mower with the tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death. (SRM-3)

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades. (SRM-7)

Disc Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing rocks and other debris for a considerable distance (50 yards or more) and causing serious bodily injury. Follow safety messages carefully.

STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 50 YARDS UNLESS:

-Front Curtain Shield is installed and in good condition. Replace when needed with genuine Original Equipment Manufactuers parts.

-Mower cutting head is running close to and parallel to the ground surface.

-Passersby are outside the thrown object zone.

-The area to be cut has been cleared of foreign material such as rocks, cans, glass, and debris NOTE: This Disc mower is not to be used for highway maintenance. (SDM-1)

DANGER!

WARNING!

DANGER!

When the cutting head is folded for transport, the center of gravity of the Tractor is raised and the possibility of overturn or tip-over is increased. Serious injury or even death could result from a tractor turnover. Turn slowly and use extra care on hillsides. Never fold the cutting head while on a hillside as the tractor might overturn. (SDM-2)

Disc Mowers rotate at a very high rate of speed (3000 RPM). Vibration due to missing, broken, or unbalanced components may cause serious imbalance and lead to rapid failure of components and possible bodily injury from components failure or thrown objects. KEEP BLADE BOLTS AND DISC ATTACHING BOLTS TIGHTENED TO A SPECIFIED IN OPERATORS MANUAL TO ASSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ASSEMBLIES. (SDM-3)

There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of the Disc Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in hay, grass , and heavy weeds which could hide foreign objects. Remove all foreign debris before mowing an area. The Blades of this mower can throw objects if shields are not 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 50 yards of mower. (SDM-4)

Safety Section 1-8DM 07-02

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills

(S3PT-1)

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! A rear Implement can fall if not properly supported. Always use the stand on the front hitch (if

equipped) or block up securely to prevent falling and possible crushing injury and/or other injury from holding or lifting heavy components. Use the stand to stabilize the implement during storage.

(S3PT-3)

WARNING!

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)

DANGER!

WARNING!

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)
