SAFETY
(Continued)
BEFORE using the disc mower, inspect the cutting
knives, discs and attaching hardware. Do not straighten
bent knives — they must be replaced. Knives MUST be
replaced in pairs.
To ensure continued safe operation, replace damaged or
worn-out parts with genuine Gehl service parts, BE-
FORE operating the machine.
Regularly inspect the disc mower’s curtain. Replace the
curtain if it is worn or damaged. NEVER operate the
machine unless the protective curtain is in place and
folded down.
NEVER search for hydraulic fluid leaks using your bare
hands — use a piece of cardboard instead. Escaping
fluid under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate
skin and cause serious injury! If any fluid is injected into
the skin, see a doctor at once! Injected fluid MUST BE
surgically removed by a doctor familiar with this type of
injury or gangrene may result.
To avoid injury when changing from the “transport”
position to “operating” position, or “operating” to
“transport” position, BE SURE the immediate area is
clear of people and obstructions BEFORE changing
positions!
Fields to be mowed must be free of obstructions. Keep
people 50 feet (15 m) or more away from the machine
during operation. If an obstruction is encountered
during mowing, stop the unit immediately — follow the
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCE-
DURE! Check the entire disc mower before continuing
use.
DO NOT go near the machine until the discs have
stopped rotating! The mechanism can continue to
operate after the PTO is disengaged!
DO NOT attempt to hand feed or kick any crop or
material into the machine!
DO NOT attempt to mow crop in reverse!
DO NOT mow crop until you ARE SURE that the field
to be mowed is free of obstructions!
REMEMBER, it is the owner’s responsibility to com-
municate information about the safe use and proper
maintenance of the machine.
WARNING
DO NOT use the DM1162 or DM1165 Mower for
roadside cutting. DO NOT operate near
people.
