GENERAL SAFETY 
Operating Conditions 
 
Commercial mowers are subjected to a variety of 
ground conditions. Mowing machine operators must 
understand the need to pay constant attention to the 
changing conditions that they may encounter while  
operating the machine.  
These precautionary measures will help in more 
efficient operation and reduced equipment ‘down time’. 
 
                                 IMPORTANT 
Positive drive PTO Mowers have a powerful cutting 
action, very little will ‘stop’ them. 
This type of mower will ‘swallow’ sand, mud, sticks, 
cans, golf balls and other debris that would ‘stop’ other 
types of mowers. 
Contact with such debris will drastically reduce the 
Blade and Bedknife sharpness and result in a loss of 
the quality of cut. 
Contact with debris can also cause damage to, or the 
brakedown, of the mower. 
 
 
 
Look after your Mower……and it will look after 
your mowing. 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                          
 
                                        WARNING 
•  Guards are installed by the manufacturer 
for your protection and that of bystanders. 
 
•  Do not engage the PTO with the mower 
reels in their raised, (transport), position. 
 
•  Do not raise the mower reels when the PTO 
is engaged. 
 
•  The PTO must be disengaged and the reels 
stationary before the mower reel units are 
raised. 
 
•  Keep clear of all moving parts.
