Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Prac-
tices
Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. In the case of extreme vibration, shut
down the Mower and the engine and wait until all motion has stopped. Inspect the Mower
to determine the source of the vibration. If any Mower blades are missing or damaged
replace them immediately. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in
component failure and broken objects could be thrown outward. To reduce the possibility of
property damage and personal injury, never allow the Mower to be operated with excessive
vibration.
(SSM-3W)
Never leave the mower unattended while the head is in the raised
position. The mower could fall causing serious injury to anyone who
might inadvertently be under the mower.
(SSM-4)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around utility and
municipal obstructions. Never allow the Mower to contact any utility, municipal, or other
type structure. Clearly mark all mowing obstructions and consult local utility providers for
a safe code of operation.
(SPU-5)
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower above ground level. Stop the Blades from
Moving when the Mower is raised and passersby are within 20 yards. Raising the Mower
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates potentially serious hazards by contact with the
Blades.
(SPU-1W)
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underwater or underground lines or cables. Contact with
buried lines or cable could result in serious injury or death.
(STL-1)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working
around overhead obstructions. Never allow the Mower head or boom
within 10 feet of any power line. When working close to overhead
power lines consult your electric company for a safe code of operation.
(SBM-7)
Never operate the boat or Implement until you have read and completely
understand this Manual, the boat Operator's Manual, and each of the
Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the boat and Implement.
Learn how to stop the engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow
inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the boat or Implement
without supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and
understood the manuals prior to operation.
