and bystanders from injury or death. Read and understand these Safety Messages before
assembling,operatingorservicing this implement. Thisequipmentshould only be operatedby
thosepersonswhohave read theManual,whoare responsible andtrained,andwho know how
todo so safelyand responsibly.
TheSafety Alert Symbol combined with a SignalWord, as seen below, isused throughout this
manual and on decals which are attached to the equipment. The Safety Alert Symbol means:
“ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!” The Symbol and Signal

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. (SG-13)
DANGER! NeverworkundertheImplement,theframework,oranyliftedcomponent

WARNING! Theoperatorandallsupportpersonnelshouldwearhardhats,safety
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for
protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the
equipment. (SG-16)
SAFETY
DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is
expensiveanditspresencecouldpresentahazard. Donotcheckfor
leakswithyourhand! Useapieceofheavypaperorcardboard. High-
pressureoilstreams frombreaks inthe linecould penetratetheskin
and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil does penetrate
the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician
knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT 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. 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. (SG-I7)

WARNING! Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can result
from operating this equipment at unsafe speeds. Understand the Tractor
and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and
highways. MakesuretheTractor steeringand brakesare ingood condition
andoperateproperly.
BeforetransportingtheTractorandImplement,determinethesafetransport
speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the
followingrules:
Beaware of theoperating conditions. Do notoperatethe Tractor withweak
or faulty brakes. 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
andreduceyourspeed. Beawareof trafficaround youandwatch outfor 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
equipmentbeforeoperatingonroads oruneven ground.
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 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.

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,anoperator 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. 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. (SG-27)
DANGER! Thereareobviousandhiddenpotentialhazardsintheoperationofthis

DANGER! KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement
andpossible serious injury or death. (SG-24)
DANGER! Neverallowchildren toplay onor aroundTractor orImplement. 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. (SG-25)
DANGER! Never run the tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate
ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

SAFETY
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)
SAFETY
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)
DANGER! Replacebentorbrokenbladewithnewblades. NEVERATTEMPTTO
STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY
CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH
SUBSEQUENTFAILUREANDPOSSIBLESERIOUSINJURYFROM
THROWN BLADES. (SGM-10)
DANGER! Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse
conditions of throwing objects for great distances
(100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or
death. Follow safety messages carefully
-Frontand Rear Deflectors, or 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, andgeneraldebrishasbeenremoved.
NOTE: Wherethereare 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, in-
spectedclosely withany remaining debrisbeing removed,andmowed
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.) (SRM-1)
