THINK SAFETY! WORK SAFELY!
WARNING
Check driveline connections to cutter and tractor before operation.
Be sure Quick Disconnect locks are operating and locked. Failure to do so could result in driveline
becoming disconnected from the tractor and cutter. Personnel could be struck by fast rotating driveline
resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Cutter blades should be replaced in pairs to maintain balance and avoid vibration.
Failure to do so may result in damage to machine.
DANGER
Use extreme care when operating on hillside or slope. Cutters are more likely to throw objects when
operating on hillside and tractors can easily tip over if dropped in a hole. Either will result in serious
injury to the operator.
WARNING
Always disengage PTO before transporting cutter. Failure to do so could result in persons being
struck by loose objects thrown by rotating blades. Thrown objects from rotating blades can strike with
killing force.
CAUTION
Operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm, or 1000 rpm on specied 1000 rpm cutters. Do not exceed.
WARNING
Always relieve pressure on hydraulic lines before disconnecting. Failure to do so could result in
escaping uid under pressure penetrating the skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood rather than hands to search for hydraulic leaks.
WARNING
Keep mower deck clear of debris. There is a risk of re when dry material accumulates and contacts
heat generated from rotating blades.
