1.2 Operator safety instructions and practices
It is a fact that the majority of accidents when working and performing maintenance occur because the safety
instructions are not followed. This means that the machine operator must pay careful attention at all times, must
put the machine into operation in the correct manner and must prevent that you or others are exposed to
unnecessary risks.
Safe operation of equipment requires that the operator wears approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for
the job conditions when attaching, operating, servicing, and repairing the equipment.
PPE is designed to provide operator protection and includes the following safety wear:
• No loose clothing or parts that are hanging loose
• Protective eye glasses, goggles, or face shield
• Helmet for head protection (i.e. hard hat)
•Safety shoes
• Gloves
• Hearing protection
• Respirator or filter mask (depends on operating
conditions)
WARNING!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle components contain or emit
chemicals.
WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off.
The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO
disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.
WARNING!
Never crawl under a raised implement supported solely by the tractor 3-point hitch. Release of
the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the implement falling and possible injury
or death. Always securely block up the implement before crawling underneath to perform
repairs and service.
WARNING!
Never operate the tractor or implement until you have read and completely understand this
manual, the tractor operator’s manual, and each of the safety messages found in the manual
or on the tractor and implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an
emergency.

HEDGE TRIMMER | User manual May 2021
This manual cannot possibly cover all of the potentially hazardous situations you will encounter. By being familiar
though with the safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions in this manual you can help prevent accidents.
The objective of this manual is to help make you a better operator. Remember, SAFETY IS YOU!
Your safety and the safety of those around you depends on YOU. Common sense should play a large role in the
operation of this machine.
1.3 Safety notes
WARNING!
Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the tractor and implement
without supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior
to operation.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 that may be thrown by the equipment.
WARNING!
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.
DANGER!
Keep away from rotating elements to prevent entanglement and possible serious injury or
death. Never allow children to play on or around a tractor or implement. Children can slip or
fall off the equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the implement to shift or fall,
crushing themselves or others.
DANGER!
Never use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the tractor and implement.
Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore affect the
operator’s ability to operate the equipment safely. Before operating the tractor or implement,
an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical
professional regarding any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to
operate the equipment safely.
DANGER!
Never knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their alertness or coordination
is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others could result if the operator is
under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation. Take
scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating conditions. Never
operate the implement and tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state which impairs proper
and safe operation.

1.4 Equipment operation safety instructions and practices
WARNING!
Never leave the tractor and implement unattended while the implement is in the lifted
position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of
unit with injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it
from the tractor, lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure
support under the A-frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or
feet under lifted components.
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.
DANGER!
This implement is wider than the tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the implement and
tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the implement to contact obstacles.
DANGER!
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underground lines or cables. Contact with buried lines or
cable could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not operate the mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the tractor engine.
Inspect the mower to determine the source of the vibration. If mower blades are missing or
damaged, replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been
replaced and the mower operates smoothly. Operating the mower with excessive vibration
can result in component failure and 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 mower to be operated with blades missing.
WARNING!
Operate this equipment only with a tractor equipped with an approved rollover-protective
system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling
off the tractor, particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the
ROPS.

Page 9/30
May 2021HEDGE TRIMMER | User manual
DANGER!
Before leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set the tractor transmission in
parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling.
Never dismount a tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the tractor
controls from the tractor seat only.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the tractor or implement. Falling off can result
in serious injury or death.
DANGER!
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the tractor or implement. Do not
mount or dismount the tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the tractor only when the
tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.
DANGER!
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.
DANGER!
Do not operate this equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and fuel are explosive and
their presence could present a hazard. Do not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure
oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including
gangrene.
To check for a hose leak, shut the unit engine off and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil
impenetrable gloves, safety glasses and use cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you
suspect a leak, remove the hose and have it tested at a dealer. If oil does penetrate the skin,
have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledgeable and skilled in this
procedure.
DANGER!
Never run the tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust
fumes can be hazardous to your health.
DANGER!
Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause
implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Operate the tractor and/or implement controls only while properly seated in the tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the tractor or
implement may cause serious injury or death.

HEDGE TRIMMER | User manual May 2021
WARNING!
In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park position,
set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and remove the
key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting.
DANGER!
Do not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or
cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor with
an enclosed cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor cab is not
available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to shield you from
the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor, which can result in
serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving tractor.
DANGER!
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
100 yards (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions,
power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items
discontinue mowing.
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this mower. REMEMBER!
This machine is often operated in heavy brush and in heavy weeds. The blades of this mower
can throw objects if shields are not properly 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 100 yards of mower.
DANGER!
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.
WARNING!
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.

Page 11/30
May 2021HEDGE TRIMMER | User manual
WARNING!
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.
DANGER!
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The correct
mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut. Normal
ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph (3-8 kph). 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.
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.
DANGER!
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with cab tractors with the windows
closed.
WARNING!
Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires while operating,
servicing, and repairing the mower and tractor:
- Equip the tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location.
- Do not operate the mower on a tractor with an underframe exhaust.
- Do not smoke or have an open flame near the mower and tractor.
- Do not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
- Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating.
- Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and gearboxes.
Periodically shut down the tractor and mower and clean clippings and collected debris
from the mower deck.
WARNING!
The mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific size
vegetation (see mower Standard Equipment and Specifications).
Do not use this mower to cut vegetation above the mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type
of non-vegetative material. Only operate this mower on a properly sized and equipped tractor.
Operating this mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the
mower with the wrong size tractor can cause mower component damage and equipment
failure resulting in possible serious injury or death.

1.5 Connecting or disconnecting implement safety instructions and
practices
Rotary mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet 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, chain guards or bands are installed and in good, workable condition;
• Mower sections or wings are 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. (This will also reduce power required to
mow, reduce wear and tear on the mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, reduce streaking, and make the
final cut more uniform).
WARNING!
Do not operate or pull the mower into standing water. When uplift or fan type mower blades
contact water they can be severely deflected downward causing possible failure of blade
resulting in serious boldly injury to the operator or bystanders.
Use extreme caution when raising the mower above ground level. Stop the Blades from turning
when the mower is raised and passersby are within 100 yards. Raising the mower 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.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when raising the mower above ground level. Stop the blades from turning
when the mower is raised and passersby are within 100 yards. Raising the mower 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.
WARNING!
Do not turn so sharp or lift mower so high to produce a severe "knocking" of the driveline
which will cause accelerated wear and breakage of drive train components and could result in
possible injury from the separated driveline sections.
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.

1.6 Transporting safety instructions and practices
Always shut the tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or
anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the implement and tractor hitches.
DANGER!
Do not use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching implement driveline to a tractor PTO. Use
of an adapter can double the operating speed of the implement resulting in excessive
vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the
working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/
or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer for
assistance if the implement driveline does not match the tractor PTO.
WARNING!
Never operate the tractor and mower if the implement input driveline is directly connected to
the tractor transmission. Tractor braking distances can be substantially increased by the
momentum of the rotating mower blades driving the tractor transmission even though the
tractor clutch has been disengaged. Install an over running clutch between the tractor PTO and
the mower driveline to prevent this potentially dangerous situation.
When attaching the implement input driveline to the tractor PTO, it is important that the
connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth
several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the tractor
PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the implement.
WARNING!
Before operating the implement, check to make sure the implement input driveline will not
bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the
outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can
cause serious damage to the tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the tractor and through the
support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause
personal injury.
WARNING!
Be particularly careful when transporting the implement with the tractor. Turn curves or go up
hills 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.
WARNING!
Allow sufficient clearance for the implement to swing outward while turning. Implements
carried behind the tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a
solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.

HEDGE TRIMMER | User manual May 2021
1.7 Maintenance and service safety instructions and practices
Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on public roadways
identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position, mirrors, and the implement
transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach
you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death.
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are installed when using PTO- driven
equipment. Always replace any shield if it is damaged or missing. Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any
maintenance or repair work on the implement. Place the implement on the ground or securely blocked up,
disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push and pull the remote cylinder lever in and out several times
prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.
WARNING!
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the tractor with weak or faulty brakes or
worn tires. 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 and
watch out for the other guy.
Be particularly careful when transporting the implement using the tractor. Turn curves or go
up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at least
20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on
rough or uneven surfaces.
WARNING!
Always disconnect the main PTO driveline from the tractor before performing service on the
implement. Never work on the implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and
running. Rotating parts, blades or drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate
entanglement, injury or death.
WARNING!
Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.
WARNING!
Do not modify or alter this implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this implement,
any of its components or any implement function.
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.
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the implement while it is in
motion or while tractor engine is running.
