OPERATION 
Safety is a primary concern in the design 
and manufacture of our products. Unfortu- 
nately, our efforts to provide safe equipment 
can be wiped out by a single careless act 
of 
an operator. 
In addition to the design and configuration 
of equipment, hazard control and accident 
prevention are dependent upon the aware- 
ness, concern, prudence 
and proper training 
of personnel involved in the operation, 
t
ransport, maintenance and storage of 
equipment. 
It has been said 'the best safety device is an 
informed, careful operator'. We ask you to 
be that kind of an operator. 
The operator 
is responsible for the safe operation 
of this mower. The operator must be properly 
trained and qualified. Operators should be familiar 
with the mower and tractor and 
all 
safety practices 
before starting operation. Read the safety informa- 
This mower is designed for lawn 
or grass mowing. 
It is not designed for rough conditions 
or 
heavy 
weed mowing. 
It is equipped with suction type 
blades for best results in lawn mowing. 
Recommended mowing speed for most condi- 
tions is from 
two to five mph. 
•    
Do not allow children or unqualified per- 
sons to operate equipment. 
Keep bystanders away from equipment 
while it 
is in operation. 
Before working underneath, raise mower, 
install transport lock and block mower 
securely. Hydraulic system leak down and
failure of mechanical or hydraulic system 
can cause equipment to drop. 
Keep all persons away from operator 
control area while performing adjust- 
ments, service 
or maintenance. 
Operate tractor mid-PTO at no more than 
2400 RPM (maximum governed engine 
RPM). 
Make sure mower driveline spring-acti- 
vated locking collar slides freely and the 
balls are seated 
in mid-PTO shaft groove. 
Stop mower and tractor immediately upon
striking an obstruction. Turn 
off engine, 
remove key, inspect and repair any dam- 
age before resuming operation. 
Always wear relatively tight and belted 
clothing to avoid entanglement in moving 
parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work 
shoes and protective equipment for eyes, 
hands, hearing and head.
