MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS


Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Always disengage
PTO, engage parking brake, turn engine off, lower wings to cutting position and
relieve hydraulic pressure before performing any maintenance.

Observe and perform proper lock-out procedures for power unit if attached to
mower during service.

Keep nuts and bolts tight and properly torqued, especially blade attachment bolts.
Check that all cotter pins are properly installed. Keep equipment in good
condition.

Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

Never work on raised mower decks without safety locks in place.

Periodically check condition of safety devices, guards, and deflectors. Replace
only with manufacturer's recommended parts.

Inspect and replace damaged blades. Use only original OEM parts. Blades can fail
from poor maintenance practices.

Handle mower blades carefully. They are sharp and can cut unprotected skin. Use
caution and wear gloves when handling them.

Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged, and are routed to
avoid chafing.

Immediately replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs of swelling, wear, leaks
or damage so it does not burst.

Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard instead. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If skin
penetration occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses.

Do not bend or strike hydraulic lines, tubes or hoses, or
reinstall them in a bent or damaged condition.

Inspect tires daily for wear or damage. Check tire pressures weekly with an
accurate pressure gauge. Do not inflate tires beyond 35 psi.

Mounting and dismounting tires from rims can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools, equipment and procedures.
Relieve hydraulic pressure per power unit manufacturer's
