SAFETY
General Safety Instructions and Practices
A 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 Implement. 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
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
faced when operating this equipment.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH OR
VERY SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result in MINOR
INJURY.
Identifies special instructions or procedures that, if not strictly observed, could result in
damage to, or destruction of the machine, attachments or the environment.
NOTE: Identifies points of particular interest for more efficient and convenient operation or repair.(SG-1)
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)
Si no lee ingles, pida ayuda a alguien que si lo lea para que le traduzca las
medidas de seguridad.(SG-3)

SAFETY
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Boat or Implement. Falling off can
result in serious injury or death. (SG-10W)
Never allow children to operate, ride on, play on or come close to the boat or Implement.
(SG-11W)
The operator and all support personnel should wear Safety flotation Vests, hard hats, safety
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury
including injury from items that may be cut or thrown by the equipment. (SG-16W)
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Boats 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 Boats, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear]
is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SG-I7W)
Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s
instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other
chemical agent. (SG-22)
Never allow children to play on or around Boat or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the
Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Boat and Implement to shift or
fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25W)
NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the
Boat 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 Boat or Implement, an operator
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-
27W)

the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone is within 20 feet of mower. (SGM-02W)
BEFORE leaving the operator's seat, always secure the boom and mower head, secure the
boat to a dock, stop the engine, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Never dismount a
boat that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the boat and boom controls from
the operator's seat only. (SG-9W)
Do not mount or dismount the boat while the boat is moving. Mount the boat only when the
boat is secured to a dock and all moving parts are completely stopped. (SG-12W)
Start the engine only when properly seated in the boat seat. Starting a boat in gear can
result in injury or death. Read the boat operators manual for proper starting instructions.
(SG-13W)
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)

SAFETY

SAFETY
Never run the Boat engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23W)
KEEP AWAY FROM BLADES & ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement and
possible serious injury or death. (SG-24W)
Do not exceed the rated engine speed for the Implement. Excessive speeds can cause
Implement damage or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death. (SG-26W)
Operate the Boat and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the operator’s
seat. Inadvertent movement of the Boat or Implement may cause serious injury or death.
(SG-29W)
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation.
Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating
conditions. Never operate the Implement and Boat in a fatigued or bored mental state
which impairs proper and safe operation. (SG-32W)
DO NOT operate this Implement on a boat that is not properly maintained. Should a
mechanical or boat control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the boat
and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could
occur from not maintaining this Implement and boat in good operating condition. (SG-36W)
Avoid contact with hot surfaces of the engine or muffler. Use gloves and eye protection
when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid can cause serious injury
from burns or scalding. (SG-38)
Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees, or animals such as
snakes, alligators that can attack you and/or cause you to lose control of the equipment. If
you must enter in such areas, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand
protection to shield you from the insects and animals. Attacking insects and animals can
cause you to lose control of the boat, which can result in serious injury or death to you or
bystanders. Never dismount a moving boat. (SG-40W)
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
300 feet (90 m) in front and to the sides of the boat and mower. Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign
objects. If you are unable to clearly see these types of items discontinue mowing.(SGM-1W)

SAFETY
Do not put hands or feet near the cutter bar. Blade contact can result
in serious injury. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the
mower is securely blocked up. (SSM-1)
Maintain adequate boat stability to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which
could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Add additional ballast and operate at
slow speeds to maintain adequate stability at all times. (SSM-2W)
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, the blades and components could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such
as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects
to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage,
serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades or boom to contact such
obstacles. (SGM-4W)
Extreme care should be taken when operating near fixed obstructions such as underwater
trees, posts or concrete fixtures. Inspect the area before mowing. Any objects that cannot
be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop mowing
immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or
blade carrier is balanced before resuming mowing. (SGM-05W)
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could become entangled in the moving
parts of the boom and mower head causing the boat to tip over. Such a situation is
extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting
area for such objects before mowing. Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the
mower blades or boom to contact such items. (SGM-06W)
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the boat and mower. The correct
mowing speed depends on water condition and grass type, density, and height of cut.
Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph). Use slow mowing speeds when
operating on or near obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be
avoided. (SGM-07W)
Do not mow in reverse direction. Never mow an area that you have not inspected and
removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-08W)

Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Prac-
tices
Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. In the case of extreme vibration, shut
down the Mower and the engine and wait until all motion has stopped. Inspect the Mower
to determine the source of the vibration. If any Mower blades are missing or damaged
replace them immediately. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in
component failure and broken objects could be thrown outward. To reduce the possibility of
property damage and personal injury, never allow the Mower to be operated with excessive
vibration. (SSM-3W)
Never leave the mower unattended while the head is in the raised
position. The mower could fall causing serious injury to anyone who
might inadvertently be under the mower. (SSM-4)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around utility and
municipal obstructions. Never allow the Mower to contact any utility, municipal, or other
type structure. Clearly mark all mowing obstructions and consult local utility providers for
a safe code of operation. (SPU-5)
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower above ground level. Stop the Blades from
Moving when the Mower is raised and passersby are within 20 yards. Raising the Mower
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates potentially serious hazards by contact with the
Blades. (SPU-1W)
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underwater or underground lines or cables. Contact with
buried lines or cable could result in serious injury or death. (STL-1)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working
around overhead obstructions. Never allow the Mower head or boom
within 10 feet of any power line. When working close to overhead
power lines consult your electric company for a safe code of operation.
(SBM-7)
Never operate the boat or Implement until you have read and completely
understand this Manual, the boat Operator's Manual, and each of the
Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the boat and Implement.
Learn how to stop the engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow
inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the boat or Implement
without supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and
understood the manuals prior to operation. (SG-4W)

Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the
Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling
which could cause serious injury or even death. (SG-14W)
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while the boat is
in motion or while the engine is running. (SG-20W)
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn
or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins are
secured with roll pins or capscrews with nylock nuts. Serious injury may
occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order. (SG-21W)
Do Not fill fuel tank while engine is running. Refuel only after engine has cooled down. If
fuel is spilled, move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source
of ignition until the gasoline has evaporated. (SG-28)
Use extreme caution when getting onto the boat or Implement to perform repairs,
maintenance and when removing accumulated material. Secure the boat to the dock or
remove it from the water before conducting any service and maintenance on the boat or
implement. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing. Use a ladder or raised
stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from ground level. Slipping and falling
can cause serious injury or death. (SG-33W)
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.
Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface
or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding. (SG-34)
Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the
unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts are
properly torqued. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this Implement in good
operating condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even
death. (SG-35)

clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Tie up and protect long hair that could
become entangled in machinery. Remove all jewelry including necklaces, rings and
watches which can get caught in machinery or on corners or edges of the equipment.
Serious injury can result from entanglement with the machinery. (SG-42)
All Safety Shields, Guards and other safety devices including (but not limited to) -
Deflectors, Steel Guards and Gearbox Shields must be used and maintained in good
working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing
or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce
the possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SSM-07)
Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN,
WELD, OR WELD HARDFACING ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR
OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES. (SGM-10)
Wear gloves and exercise care when handling blades. Blades are SHARP and can cause
lacerations to hands and other parts of the body if not safely handled. (SSM-09)
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement.
Place the Implement on the ground or securely block up, and turn off the engine. Push and
pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to starting any maintenance or
repair work.(S3PT-09W)
Use care when swinging or extending the boom to maintain tractor stability and control.
(SBM-13W)
The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific
size vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications). DO NOT use this
mower to cut vegetation above the Mower's rated capacity or to cut any type of non-
vegetative material. Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Boat.
Operating this Mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the
Mower with the wrong size boat can cause unstable conditions or equipment failure
resulting in possible serious injury or death. (SGM-14W)

Storage and Parking Safety Instructions and Practices
Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices
Concluding Safety Instructions and Practices
To prevent tipping of the Implement when stored, use additional blocks and support stands
to securely block up the implement. (S3PT-6W)
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Boat. Turn curves or at a
low speed and using a gradual steering angle. This Implement raises the center of gravity of
the boat and moves it to the rear. Add enough ballast to prevent loss of control of the boat or
tipping-over.(S3PT-02W)
Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while turning. Implements
carried to the side of the Boat will swing outside the normal path when making turns.
Contacting a solid object while turning will cause equipment damage, the boat to tip over
and possible injury. (S3PT-20W)
When the boom and mower head if folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised and
the possibility of tipping over is increased. Operate slowly and use extreme caution in
rough water. Overturning the boat could result in serious injury or even death. (STI-02W)
Secure the Implement for transport before transporting at speeds in excess of 5 mph.
Secure boom and mower head in the transport position before transporting. (STI-7W)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working
around overhead obstructions and electrical power lines. The
Implement can be over 10 feet high. Never allow the Implement to
come within 10 feet of any power line. (STI-8W)
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 boat and Equipment
Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the boat and Equipment. (SG-18W)
