SAFETY
A safe and careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of
primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner /
operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your
equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions.
The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages that,
if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury
or death. Read and understand these Safety Messages before
assembling, operating or servicing this mower. This equipment
should only be operated by those persons who have read the Manual,
who are responsible and trained, and who know how to do so safely
and responsibly.
The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen below, is
used 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 word are
intended to warn the owner / operator of impending hazards and the degree
of possible injury when operating this equipment.
Practice all usual and customary safe working precautions and
above all -- remember safety is up to YOU! Only YOU can
prevent serious injury or death from unsafe practices.
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety
Messages. Serious injury or death may occur unless care is taken to follow
the warnings and instructions stated in the Safety Messages. Always use
good common sense to avoid hazards. (SG-2)
This is the Safety Alert Symbol. When you see this symbol on your machine or in
these instructions, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
The lowest level of Safety Message; warns of possible injury. Decals located on the
equipment with this signal word are Black and Yellow.
Serious injury or possible death! Decals are Black and Orange.
Imminent death / critical injury. Decals are Red and White.

Safety Section 1-5
SAFETY
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. Make sure the Tractor
steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine
the safe transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make
sure you abide by the following rules:
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 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 equipment before operating on roads or 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 characteristics
of 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.

CAUTION! PROLONGEDEXPOSURETOLOUDNOISE MAY CAUSE PERMA-
NENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement at-
tached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
Werecommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in
the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an
extendedperiodoftimewillcauseseverehearingloss. Noiseover90db
adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause
permanent or total hearing loss. Note: Hearing loss from loud noise
[fromtractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the
ear]iscumulativeoveralifetimewithout hope ofnaturalrecovery.(SG-I7)
WARNING! The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats,
safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all
timesforprotectionfrominjuryincludinginjuryfromitemsthrownby

SAFETY
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 Imple-
ment,an operator on prescription orover-the-counter medication must
consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medi-
cation 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)
WARNING! Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions

SAFETY
WARNING!
In addition to the design and configuration of this Implement, including Safety Signs and Safety
Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and operation
instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor and Equipment Manuals. Pay
close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the Tractor and Equipment. (SG-18)
Tiger mowers use balanced and matched system components for blade carriers, blades,
cutter-shafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drive-train components and bearings. These parts are
made and tested to Tiger specifications. Non-genuine “will fit” parts do not consistently meet these
specifications. The use of “will fit” parts may reduce mower performance, void mower warranties
and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Tiger mower parts for economy and safety.
