OPERATION

11.1 Foreign Debris Hazards

Before operating, inspect the area to make sure

there are no foreign objects that the implement

knives could hit or become entangled with.

Remove all foreign objects and debris. If objects

are too big to remove, mark them clearly and be

sure to prevent the implement blades from

contacting them.

If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the

implement and tractor at once. Immediately idle

the engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for

all implement rotating motion to stop, then raise

the implement and move the tractor and

implement off the object. Inspect the area and

remove, or mark the location of the debris. Inspect

the condition of the implement and make any

needed repairs immediately. Make sure the knives

are not damaged and the carrier is balanced

before resuming operation.

Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and

only operate the tractor and implement with the

ROPS in the raised position. If the tractor or implement hits a tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement

could throw you off of the seat and under the tractor and/or implement. The seat belt is your best protection

from falling off the tractor and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.

mower.

correct mowing speed depends on terrain 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 steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power

lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.

(SGM-07)

Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause

Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.
