hazardous areas. In many places, decals are also
provided to warn of potential hazards as well as to
display special operating procedures.

chine BEFORE operating it. DO NOT operate
the machine unless ALL factory-installed

Drive Line Shields (Fig . 1)
The telescoping PTO drive, between the disc mower
input shaft and tractor PTO shaft, is equipped with guard
tubes which are held stationary by chains. Be sure the
front chain is attached to tractor and the rear chain is
attached to the disc mower.
WARNING
BEFORE starting the tractor engine, BE SURE
the PTO is properly coupled to the tractor PTO
shaft and mower input shaft. Also, BE SURE
that the PTO guard tubes are properly chained
to the tractor PTO guard and disc mower to
prevent the tubes from turning.
