Always shut off the tow vehicle engine, remove
the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before adjusting, repairing, cleaning, or storing the
machine. Know how to stop the tow vehicle and
shut off the engine quickly.
•
Keep all guards, safety devices, and decals in
place. Repair or replace all safety devices. Do not
operate the machine unless they are present and
functioning properly.
•
Ensure that the tow vehicle is suitable for use with
an implement of this weight by checking with the
tow vehicle supplier or manufacturer.
•
Do not modify this equipment in any manner.
Training Period
Before mowing for the first time, practice operating
your tow vehicle and transport frame in a large, clear,
level area. Start, stop, raise and lower mowers
and maneuver the machine with all mowers down
to develop skills necessary to keep control of the
extreme outboard mowers to prevent hitting obstacles.
Also, practice operating at transport speeds with
mowers in transport position to achieve familiarity with
all types of operating conditions.
