Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the

operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at

greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result

in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.

Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.

8.1 Foreign Debris Hazard

Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure

there are no foreign objects that the mower

blades 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 mower blades from

contacting them. OPS-F-0051

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

mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the

engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for

all mower motion to stop, then raise the mower

and move the tractor and mower off the object.

Inspect the area and remove or mark the

location of the debris. Inspect the condition of

the mower and make any needed repairs

immediately.

Make sure the blades are not

damaged and the cuttershafts are balanced

before

resuming operation. OPS-F-0052

Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS in the

raised position. If the tractor or mower hits a tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement could throw you

off of the seat and under the tractor and/or mower. 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.
