and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and
highways. Makesurethe Tractor steering and brakes are in good condi-
tionandoperate properly.
BeforetransportingtheTractorandImplement, determine the safe
transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide
by the following rules:
Beaware oftheoperatingconditions. Do notoperatetheTractor with weakorfaulty brakes. 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 and watch 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
equipmentbefore operatingonroadsor uneven 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
characteristicsoftheTractor 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.

death. Follow safety messages carefully
STOPMOWING IF PASSERSBYARE WITHIN 100
YARDS UNLESS:
-Front and 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;
-Passerby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material such as
rocks, cans, glass, andgeneral debris has beenremoved.
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.) (SRM-1)
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)

SAFETY
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)
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!”
