WARNING! Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can
resultfromoperatingthisequipmentatunsafespeeds. Understandthe
Tractorand Implementandhowit handlesbeforetransporting on streets
andhighways. Make sure the Tractor steeringand brakes are in good
conditionandoperate properly.
BeforetransportingtheTractorandImplement,determinethesafe
transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide
bythefollowingrules:
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
slickroads,thebrakingdistanceincreases:useextremecareand reduce
yourspeed. Whenoperatingin 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)
2. 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
equipmentbefore operating onroadsoruneven ground.
3. Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you
have determined are safe and which allow you to properly control the
equipment.
1. Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.
Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping
characteristicsofthe 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.
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PER-
MANENT 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.
Noiseover90dbadjacent to the Operator over anextendedperiodof
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)

DANGER! 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)
DANGER! 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 inpossible injury
from the separated Driveline sections. (SRM-4)
WARNING! 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)
WARNING! NeverleaveTractorandImplementedunattendedwhiletheimplementis

Do not put hands or feet under lifted components. (S3PT-1)
DANGER! RotaryMowersarecapableunderadverse conditions
of throwing objects for great distances (100yardsor
more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow
safety messages carefully
-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;
-Passerby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, andgeneraldebrishasbeenremoved.
NOTE: Wherethere are grass and weeds high enoughto hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected
andlarge debrisremoved,mowed atanintermediate height,inspected,
closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again
at desired final height. (This will also reduce power requiredto mow,
reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material
better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut more uniform.)

seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor
turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased. (3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
DANGER! 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. (STI-1)
DANGER! When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised
and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use
extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement
could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting
in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement may overturn. (STI-2)
DANGER! DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death. (STI-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! Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
is installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any
