Saber Safety Section 1-7
SAFETY
DANGER!
WARNING!
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. 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.
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)

WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
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)
Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure
there are no persons 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 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. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the decks are securely blocked up. (SGM-9)
DANGER!

DANGER!
DANGER!
Rotary and Flail Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of
throwing objects for great distances (100 yards or more) and causing
serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good,
working condition;
-Mower Head is running close to and parallel to the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign
material such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris
has been removed.
NOTE:
Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final height. (SBM-1)
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower head. Stop the Blades
from turning when the Mower Head is raised and passersby are within
100 yards. Raising the Mower head exposes the Cutting Blades
which creates a potentially serious hazard and can cause serious
injury by objects thrown from the Blades or by contact with the Blades.
(SBM-2)
DANGER!
WARNING!
WARNING!
Be particularly careful in transport. The Mower has raised the center
of gravity for the tractor and has increased the possibility of overturn. Turn
curves or go up slopes only at low speed and using a gradual turning
angle. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces. (SBM-3)
Never Leave the mower unattended while the head is in the
raised position. The mower could fall causing serious injury
to anyone who might inadvertently be under the mower.
