Page 12: Safety Training
SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product. Unfortunately, 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 accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, trans- port, maintenance and storage of this equipment. - Page 13 PREPARTION Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety messages 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 14: Operational Safety
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 opera- tors of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, pay- ing particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not understand, ask your su- pervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you. - Page 15 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.

Page 20: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT To prevent blades from striking the ground your rotary should be set to the highest position that will give desired grass height. By setting your mower up this way you reduce blade wear and stress on the mower. Mowing at regular intervals will yield far better results than periodic mowing. - Page 21 ROTARY MOWER OPERATION STEP 1 Before each use perform the maintenance described in maintenance section on page 24. STEP2 Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation, starting and stopping safety, operational safety, transport safety warning sec- tions of this manual (pages 14 thru 18) STEP 3 With tractor running, lower rotary mower to ground so that the deck surface of the mower is parallel to the ground.
