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.

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

alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Imple-
ment,an operator onprescription or over-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)

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.
