Texas Efterh?ngt Rotorklipper [14/22] Starting and stopping mower

Check the tractor master shield over the PTO shaft. Make sure it is in good condition and fastened

securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or missing.

It is recommended that a ROPS (Roll-Over Protection System) and a seat belt be installed on all

tractors. Contact your local dealer for a ROPS for your tractor.

Be sure your tractor is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all

tractor operators are familiar with the safety rules of operation.

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this mower. The operator must be properly

trained. Operators should be familiar with the mower and tractor and all safety practices before

starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety signs before operation.

Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from two to five mph.

When using the unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front

wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip up, causing possible loss of control and

possible personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front end loader, front

wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of

tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight

certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. DO NOT GUESS OR ESTIMATE!

A heavy load can cause instability in driving a tractor. Make sure the front of the tractor is

properly counterbalanced with weights. Always drive slowly - especially around turns. An

unstable tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.

For non-agricultural applications, OSHA, ASAE SAE and ANSI standards require the use of

chain guards, deflectors or solid skirts at all times. The mower manufacturer strongly

recommends the use of chain guards, rubber belting or solid skirts for agricultural

applications as well, to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury or even

death from objects thrown or from contact with the cutting blades.

Front, rear, left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel, the same as when driving

an automobile.

STARTING AND STOPPING MOWER

The power required for operating the mower is supplied via the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor's

manual for instructions on engaging and disengaging the PTO.

1. Always engage the PTO at low engine RPM.

2. Operate the mower at 540 RPM PTO speed. Do not exceed 540 RPM PTO speed.

3. In case of emergency, you must learn how stop the tractor and mower quickly.

Important: Stop cutter and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Inspect the mower and

repair any damage before resuming operation. Do not disengage PTO when the engine is at full PTO

RPM. Always bring the tractor engine to idle speed before disengaging the PTO. !
