Inclines and ditches should be approached along a
line which is at an angle as shown. This type of path
will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of the
driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient is so
steep that such an approach increases the possibility
of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate crossing path.
When operating the tractor and mower across slopes
and inclines, through ditches, and other uneven
terrain conditions, it is important to maintain sufficient
deck to ground clearance.
ground may cause soil, rocks and other debris to be
thrown out from under the mower resulting in possible
injury and/or property damage. Ground contact also
produces a severe shock load on the mower drive and
to the mower blades resulting in possible damage and
premature wear. OPS-R-0022 str
10.OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND
IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE.
The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the implement and tractor
operator's manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never
allow someone to operate the implement and tractor without complete operating instructions.
Before starting any operation, the operator must become familiar with the area to be worked in and any
obstacles and hazards contained within to ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment. Special
attention should be paid to foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and passersby and animals in the area.
OPS-U- 0015 str
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as
gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before mowing.
Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine
damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be
removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator.
Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all
damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced before
resuming mowing.
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.
