without direct contact
•Clean reflectors, Slow Moving Vehicle sign and lights before
transporting. Use power unit hazard lights.
•Before disconnecting from power unit, always place controls in
neutral, set park brake, turn engine off, and wait for all moving
parts to stop. Relieve hydraulic pressure per power unit
manufacturer’s instructions.
•Ensure mower parking jack is securely fastened to mower frame
with supplied pin before removing hitch draw pin.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Always
disengage PTO, engage parking brake, turn engine off, lower wings to
cutting position and relieve hydraulic pressure before performing any
maintenance.
•Observe and perform proper lock-out procedures for power unit if
attached to mower during service.
•Keep nuts and bolts tight and properly torqued, especially blade
attachment bolts. Check that all cotter pins are properly installed.
Keep equipment in good condition.
•Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
•Never work on raised mower decks without safety locks in place.
•Periodically check condition of safety devices, guards, and deflectors.
Replace only with manufacturer’s recommended parts.
•Inspect and replace damaged blades. Use only original OEM parts.
Blades can fail from poor maintenance practices.
•Handle mower blades carefully. They are sharp and can cut
unprotected skin. Use caution and wear gloves when handling them.
•Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged, and
are routed to avoid chafing.
•Immediately replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs of swelling,
wear, leaks or damage so it does not burst.
•Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Use a piece of
cardboard instead.
•Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. If skin penetration occurs, seek medical
attention immediately. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting
hoses.
•Do not bend or strike hydraulic lines, tubes or hoses, or reinstall them
in a bent or damaged condition.
•Inspect tires daily for wear or damage. Check tire pressures weekly
with an accurate pressure gauge. Do not inflate tires beyond 35 psi.
•Mounting and dismounting tires from rims can be dangerous and
should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools,
equipment and procedures.

TD92 Operator’s Manual
12
•Never perform service on a machine that is supported solely by a
jack. Always ensure proper blocking is placed to support load
during service. Do not support the machine on cinder blocks,
hollow tiles or other members that may fail under continuous
load.
WELDING AND GRINDING WORK PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT! A fire extinguisher should be easily accessible during
all welding work.
Welding repairs are to be performed by a trained welder with proper
service instructions. Know the material to be welded and select the
correct welding procedure and materials (electrodes, rods, wire) that will
provide a weld metal strength equivalent to the parent material.
Move the machine to a clean, safe area before welding, grinding or using
a cutting torch on it. This type of work should only be done in a clean
area and not in places that contain combustible liquids, such as fuel
tanks, hydraulic pipes or similar.
Connect arc welder ground as close as possible to work area.
Work with extra care when welding, grinding or torch cutting near
flammable objects.
WORKING ON PAINTED SURFACES
Heated paint gives off poisonous gases. Therefore, paint must be
removed from an area with a radius of at least 4 in (10 cm) before
carrying out welding, grinding, or gas cutting. In addition to the health
hazard, the weld will be of inferior quality and strength if the paint is not
removed.
Methods and precautionary measures when removing paint:
Blasting –use respiratory protective equipment and protective
goggles.
Paint remover or other chemicals –use a portable air extractor,
respiratory protective equipment, and protective gloves.
Grinding –use a portable air extractor, respiratory protective
equipment, and protective gloves and goggles.
WORKING ON GALVANIZED / PLATED SURFACES
Only qualified welders should attempt a weld repair on galvanized or
plated components. Proper pre-welding surface preparation is required.
Always ensure proper ventilation, wear proper respiratory protective
equipment and avoid direct contact with smoke emitted from welding
process.

TD92 Operator’s Manual
13
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Risk of personal injury! Wear safety glasses and use
protective gloves.
Relieve all trapped pressure before performing any service to the
hydraulic system. Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic circuits
long after the power source and pump have been shut down.
Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses or tubes.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
It is important that each person who comes in contact with the machine
be alert to any faults.
Follow these basic precautions:
•Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-limiting
device to a higher pressure than specified.
•Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged,
and are routed to avoid chafing.
•When connecting mower to tractor ensure hydraulic hoses have
sufficient slack for negotiating turns and uneven terrain.
•Immediately replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs of
swelling, wear, leaks or damage so it does not burst.
•Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard instead. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If skin
penetration occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Relieve
all pressure before disconnecting hoses.
•Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes or hoses, or
reinstall them in a bent or damaged condition.
HYDRAULIC OIL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Oils can irritate and damage the eyes, throat, and sensitive skin. Avoid
contact.
Petroleum based oils are hazardous to the environment. Take special
care not to spill or discharge these fluids. Use approved containers and
methods to handle and dispose of them.
Use an authorized disposal and recycling company.
