Page 11: Safety Training
SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product. Un- fortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and ac- cident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment. - Page 12 PREPARTION Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely under- stand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety mes- sages found on the safety signs on the tractor and mower. Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, re- pairing, removal, or moving the implement.
- Page 13 OPERATIONAL SAFETY The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected against by the mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equip- ment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using.
- Page 14 OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued... Never allow the cutting blade to contact such items. Cut material higher at first, allowing finishing mower to clear hidden objects. Never assume an area is clear. Always Check! Always stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow cutter blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.
