GROOMING MOWERS - SGM Series - Models SGM 48-60-72-84

The PTO shields of tractor and implement side, the driveshaft shielding and the driveshaft retain-
ing chains must be properly installed and in good condition, to avoid risk of entanglement with se-
rious injury or death.
Before engaging the PTO of the tractor, always make sure that the driveshaft is correctly installed,
with clamping elements properly connected both to tractor side and to implement side.
Only operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in an emergency.
Stop operating immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain
spindles and blades are in good condition before restarting operation.
Always disengage the tractor PTO when the driveshaft exceed an angle of 10 degrees up or down
while operating. An excessive angle with driveshaft rotating can break the driveshaft and cause
flying projectiles.
Prolonged use of the mower can cause overheating of the gearbox. Do not touch the gearbox dur-
ing use and immediately after, it could be extremely hot and cause severe burn.
All adjustment operations on the mower must be performed by qualified and trained operators,
with the tractor engine off, the PTO disengaged, the mower lowered to the ground or on security
stands, the ignition key off and the parking brake set.
3.4. TRANSPORTING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before transporting, determine the stopping characteristics of the tractor and implement.
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment.
When driving on roads, the implement must be in transport position adequately raised from the
road surface, with tractor lifting hydraulics locked so that the mower cannot be lowered accidental-
ly.
The implement may be wider than the tractor. Pay attention during transporting to persons, ani-
mals or obstacles exposed.
When turning, use extreme care and reduce tractor speed.
