PREPARATION Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the messages found on the safety decals on the tractor and mower. Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, repairing, removal, or moving the implement. - Page 7 Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all assistants and several bystanders hundred feet from the operating Rotary Cutter. The majority the accidents involve entanglement with the driveline, injury of bystanders by objects being thrown by the rotating blades, and operators being knocked off of the tractor by low hanging limbs and being run over by the mower.

Moving at regular intervals will produce far better results than periodic mowing. - Page 11 ROTARY CUTTER OPERATION STEP 1 Before each use, perform the maintenance described in maintenance section. STEP 2 Read, understand, and follow the information on safety, preparation, starting and stopping safety, operational safety and transport safety warning sections of this manual.
