Maintenance Safety
• Be sure to inspect all safety devices (including safety shields, guards, deflectors, etc.)
before each use.
Safety Shield Examples
• Maintain all safety decals and make sure they are visible to the operator.
• Replace bent or broken blades with new ones. DO NOT attempt to weld or bend dam-
aged blades. This can cause cracking or other types of damage that could result in the
blade being thrown from the mower.
• Wear gloves and exercise care when handling mower blades/knives. Also be alert to
worn or damaged surfaces that could have sharp edges.
• Disengage PTO and shut off engine allowing all movement to stop before leaving the
operator’s position to adjust, clean, lubricate or unclog the machine.
• Replace rubber guard on the front of the mower/shredder if torn, frayed, punctured, or
worn before operating this equipment.
• Before working on or underneath the mower/shredder, place blocks on both sides (front
and back) of tractor tires and under each end of the mower to prevent accidental lower-
ing of the machine. Also remove the ignition key from the tractor and allow all move-
ment to stop before beginning work.
