Mowers are designed to operate outdoors.
The operating position is seated in the
driving seat of the tractor. Noise generated
by the tractor & mower will vary considerably
depending upon the tractor being used, the
terrain & conditions.
Always use ear protection when
operating the mower if noise
exceeds safe working limits.
Blades rotating at high speed stir up dust,
particularly in hot dry weather.
Wear a dust mask when operating
the machine in dry conditions.
Show consideration to others. Shut
doors & windows in buildings nearby
A tractor towing a mower is considerably
heavier than the tractor on its own & is
harder to stop.
Be aware. Drive defensively.
Mowers attached to light tractors may cause
the tractor wheels to lift off the ground when
braking or traversing bumps
Fit approved ballast weights if
necessary.
Tractors often travel slower than other traffic.
Fit all signs, flags or beacons as
required by local laws. Turn on
headlights, tail lights & hazard
flashers. Comply with local driving
regulations. Pull over where safely
possible to allow faster traffic to
pass.
Pinch points occur where one object is
moving in a circle & another moves close to
it. Belt drives create pinch points where the
belt is moving onto the pulley.
Ensure all guards are fitted correctly
before operating the machine.
Shear hazards occur when the edges of two
surfaces move against each. Tractor
linkages & mounted mowers move in relation
to each other. Mowers with multiple decks
have many sections that move
independently from each other as the decks
are lifted & lowered & when the machine is
following ground contours. Fingers or limbs
could be severed or seriously injured if
trapped between moving parts.
Keep clear of machinery when it is
moving.
Ensure all guards are fitted.
