10.1 Foreign Debris Hazards

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

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 rotating motion to stop, then raise the

mower and move the tractor and implement 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.

Remove Foreign Material

Make sure the blades are not damaged and the

carrier is balanced before resuming operation.

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. OPS-R-0023 str

Raise Mower over solid objects

If a bystander comes within 300 feet of the tractor while the mower is being operated, stop the tractor at once,

idle the engine and disengage the PTO. Do not engage the PTO again until all bystanders are well past the

300 foot distance. OPS-R-0024 str

In case of emergency, shut down tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all rotating motion to stop.

Place the tractor in park position, engage parking brake and remove the key before leaving the operator's seat.
