SAFETY

SX15 01/09 Safety Section 1-11

SAFETY

Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing

objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury

or death. Follow safety messages carefully.

STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:

-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed and in good, workable

condition;

-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the ground without exposed

Blades;

-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;

-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material such as rocks, cans,

glass, and general debris has been removed.

NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could be struck

by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an

intermediate height, inspected, closely with any remaining debris being removed, and

mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce

wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, reduce streaking, and

make the final cut more uniform).

(SRM-01)

Do Not attempt to raise or lower the implement wing unless the Implement tongue is

securely attached to the Tractor drawbar. The Implement could tip over and cause

equipment damage and possible serious injury or death. Raise or Lower the mower wing

only while seated in the Tractor operator’s seat with the seat belt securely fastened.

(SRM-2)

Do not turn so sharp or lift mower so high to produce a severe "knocking" of the Driveline

which will cause accelerated wear and breakage of drive train components and could result

in possible injury from the separated Driveline sections.

(SRM-04)

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any

reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck

exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard

and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from

the Blades.

(SRM-07)
