⚠WARNING
When using the unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be
on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, the tractor could tip up, causing
possible loss of control and possible personal injury or death. The weight may
be attained with a front end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight
certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. DO NOT GUESS OR
ESTIMATE!
⚠WARNING
A heavy load can cause instability when driving a tractor. Make sure the front
of the tractor is properly counterbalanced with weights. Always drive slowly -
especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer badly and possibly tip
over, causing injury or death.
⚠DANGER
For non-agricultural applications, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards
require the use of chain guards, deflectors, or solid skirts at all times. The
mower manufacturer strongly recommends the use of chain guards, rubber
belting, or solid skirts for agricultural applications as well, to reduce the risk of
property damage, serious bodily injury or even death from objects thrown or
from contact with the cutting blades.
Front, rear, left, and right are determined by the normal direction of travel, the same as when driving
an automobile.
