highways. MakesuretheTractorsteeringand brakes are in good condi-
tionandoperateproperly.
Beforetransportingthe Tractor and Implement, determinethesafe
transportspeeds for you andthe equipment. Make sure you abide by
thefollowingrules:
Beawareoftheoperatingconditions. DonotoperatetheTractor with weak orfaultybrakes. Whenoperatingdown
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 andwatch out for the other guy. (SG-19)
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
equipmentbeforeoperatingonroadsorunevenground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you
have determined are safe and which allow you to properly control the
equipment.
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.
Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping
characteristicsof the Tractor andImplement.
As you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance
increases. Determine the maximum safe transport speed for
you and this Equipment.

SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
(SGM-10)
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)
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! Never leave Tractor and Implemented unattended while the implement is in the lifted position.
Accidentaloperationofliftingleverorahydraulicfailure may cause sudden drop of unit with
injuryordeathbycrushing. Toproperly parktheimplementwhendisconnectingitfromthetractor,
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. (S3PT-1)
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. (S3PT-2)
DANGER! Make sure the PTO shield is installed when using PTO-driven equipment.
Always replace the PTO shield if it is damaged or missing. (S3PT-8)
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. (S3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
WARNING! DonotmowwithtwomachinesinthesameareaexceptwithCabtractorswiththewindowsclosed.

WARNING! 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. (S3PT-9)

-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, andgeneraldebris 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 requiredto mow, reduce
wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and
make the final cut more uniform.) (SFM-3)
