SAFETY
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
A careful operator is the best operator. Accidents can be avoided by observing certain safety precautions. Read
and understand these precautions before operating the mower. This equipment should be operated by those who
have been trained in its safe use.
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators. It is important that all operators be familiar
with and follow safety precautions.
THE MOWER
Know and understand all mower instructions and
Safety Precautions before assembly, service, or
operation. Also read and understand all Safety
Precautions in the Tractor Operator’s Manual.
Keep the tractor and mower in good operating
condition at all times.
Always keep all shields and guards securely in place.
Make sure all fastening hardware is properly
tightened before operating the tractor and mower.
Keep all Safety Decals clean and free of dirt and
grime. Always replace any Safety Decals that
become damaged, lost, painted over, or otherwise
become illegible. Replace all Safety Decals when
repainting the mower.
MOWER OPERATION
DO NOT permit anyone but the operator to ride on
the tractor or mower. There is no safe place on this
equipment for passengers.
Clear the area of people, pets, and all visible debris
before mowing.
Mow only during daylight hours, or when the area is
well lit artificially.
To avoid the possibility of injury from flying debris,
NEVER operate the mower raised into the transport
position.
Always keep mower discharge directed away from
people or animals, which could be injured, and away
from objects that could be damaged, by debris
thrown by the mowing blades.
Stop and inspect all parts of the mower after striking
any foreign object. Repair any damage before
resuming mowing operations.
Disengage power to the mower and make sure the
area behind the tractor and mower is clear before
backing up. Always slow down when backing or
turning.
The operator should NEVER leave the tractor seat
with the mower blades rotating, with the tractor in
motion, or when the tractor engine is running.
Always be alert for vehicle traffic when crossing or
mowing near roadways. Avoid bystanders when
mowing on or near public facilities.
THE TRACTOR
Always use an approved Roll Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and Seat Belt for safe operation. Overturning
a tractor, without a ROPS, can result in serious injury
or death. If your tractor is not equipped with a ROPS
and Seat Belt, see your New Holland Dealer.
ALWAYS wear the seat belt on ROPS equipped
tractors. DO NOT use a seat belt if the tractor ROPS
has been removed.
NEVER allow an open flame near the fuel tank or
tractor battery.
WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL IT MEANS:
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
Use the hand holds and step platforms when
mounting and dismounting the tractor to prevent
falling. Always keep steps and platforms clean and
free of mud or other debris.
The operator MUST remain in the tractor seat at all
times while mowing, transporting, or anytime the
tractor engine is running.
NEVER start the engine while standing beside the
tractor. The operator MUST sit in the tractor seat
when starting the engine.
NEVER run the engine in a closed building without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are very
dangerous and can cause permanent injury or death.
Use extreme care when operating on slopes to
maintain equipment stability.
Keep the tractor in gear when traveling downhill.
Install tractor wheel weights to increase stability when
operating on slopes. Consult your New Holland
Dealer on ballasting requirements for your equipment.
To avoid loss of control, and to prevent over-turning
the tractor and mower, always mow up and down
slopes, never across. DO NOT operate on steep
slopes.
Always bring the tractor to a complete stop, lower the
mower deck to ground contact, disengage power to
the mower, set the parking brake, shut off the engine
and remove the key, before dismounting from the
tractor.
NEVER park the tractor on an incline.
SERVICING THE MOWER
Keep the tractor and mower clean. Grease, dry
debris and grass buildup can cause fires, damaging
the equipment and causing serious injury to yourself
or others.
Check for and replace or repair missing, loose, or
damaged parts on the mower. A defective mower
could cause injury to another operator who is
unaware of a potential problem.
To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog, or
service the mower when the engine is running.
Do not work under the raised tractor or mower deck
unless it is securely supported by a hoist, floor jack
and jackstands.
Make sure all hoists, floor jacks and jackstands are
in good working order and have sufficient capacity to
support the elevated equipment, before repair,
adjustment, or lubrication of the tractor or mower.
Inspect the mowing blade retainer nuts daily, or
whenever a blade has been removed. Torque is 200
- 210 N⋅m (148 to 155 lb ft). These nuts have right
hand threads.
To avoid injury when handling mowing blades, wear
leather gloves, or wrap the blades in the area where
they will be held.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify
or alter the mower, or any of its components or
operating functions. If in doubt on modifications, see
your New Holland Dealer.
