for any other purpose. Successful operation and
long mower life depends on proper maintenance
and correct operating technique.

A careful operator is the test operator.
Accidents can lie avoided by' observing certain
so/efy prenautionf. Read arid underetaMd these
precautions before operating the blower. This
equipme_at_ shozzld be operated only by those who
have been trained in its safe use. THE MOWER
Always keep mower discharge directed away from
people or animals, which could be injured, and
away from objects that could be damaged, by
debris thrown by the mowing blades.
Know and understand all mower instructions and
Safety Precautions before assembly, service, or
operation. Also read and understand all Safety
Precautions in the Tractor Operator's Manual.
Stop and inspect all parts of the mower after
striking any foreign object. Repair any damage
before resuming mowing operations.
Keep the tractor and mower in good operating
condition at all times.
Always keep all shields and guards securely in
place.
Disengage power to the mower and make sure the
area behind the tractor and mower is clear before
backing up. Always slow down backing or when
turning.
Make sure all fastening hardware is properly
tightened before operating the tractor and
mower.
The operator should NEVER leave the tractor seat
with the mower blades rotating, with the tractor
in motion, or when the tractor engine is running.
Keep all Safety Decals clean and free of dirt and
grime. Always replace any Safety Decals that
become damaged, lost, painted over, or
otherwise become illegible. Replace all Safety
Decals when repainting the mower.
Always be alert for vehicle traffic when crossing
or mowing near roadways. Avoid bystanders when
mowing on or near public facilities.
MOWER OPERATION
THE TRACTOR
DO NOT permit anyone but the operator to ride on
the tractor or mower. There is no safe place on
this equipment for passengers.
Always use an approved Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and Seat Belt for safe
operation. Overturning a tractor, without a
ROPS, can result in serious injury or death. If
your tractor is not equipped with a ROPS and Seat
Belt, see your NEW HOLLAND Dealer.
Clear the area of people, pets, and all visible
debris before mowing.
Mow only during daylight hours, or when the area
is well lit artificially.
ALWAYS wear the seat belt on ROPS equipped
tractors. DO NOT use a seat belt it the tractor
ROPS has been removed.
To avoid the possibility of injury from flying
debris, NEVER operate the mower raised into the
transport position.
NEVER allow an open flame near the fuel tank or
tractor battery.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Continued
SERVICING THE MOWER Keep the tractor and mower
clean. Grease, dry debris and grass build-up can
cause fires, damaging the equipment and causing
serious injury to yourself or others.
OPERATING THETRACTOR MOWER Use the handholds
and step platforms when mounting and dismounting
the tractor to prevent falling. Always keep steps
and platforms clean and free of mud or other
debris.
The operator MUST remain in the tractor seat at
all times while mowing, transporting, or anytime
the tractor engine is running.
Check for and replace or repair missing, loose,
or damaged parts on the mower. A defective mower
could cause injury to another operator who is
unaware of a potential problem.
NEVER start the engine while standing beside the
tractor. The operator MUST sit in the tractor
seat when starting the engine.
To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog, or
service the mower when the engine is running.
NEVER run the engine in a closed building without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are very
dangerous and can cause permanent injury or death.
Do not work under the raised tractor or mower
deck unless it is securely supported by a hoist,
floor jack and jackstands.
Make sure all hoists, floor jacks and jackstands
are in good working order and have sufficient
capacity to support the elevated equipment,
before repair, adjustment, or lubrication of the
tractor or mower.
Use extreme care when operating on slopes to
maintain equipment stability.
Keep the tractor in gear when traveling downhill.
Install tractor wheel weights to increase
stability when operating on slopes. Consult your
NEW HOLLAND Dealer on ballasting requirements for
your equipment.
lnspect the mowing blade retainer nuts daily, or
whenever a blade has been removed. Torque is 110
to 130 ft. lbs. (150-177 Num). These nuts have
right hand threads.
To avoid loss of control, and to prevent
over-turning the tractor and mower, always mow up
and down slopes, never across. DO NOT operate on
steep slopes.
To avoid injury when handling mowing blades, wear
leather gloves, or wrap the blades in the area
where they will be held.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the mower, or any of its
components or operating functions. If in doubt on
modifications, see your NEW HOLLAND Dealer.
Always bring the tractor to a complete stop,
lower the mower deck to ground contact,
disengage power to the mower, set the parking
brake, shut off the engine and remove the key,
before dismounting from the tractor. NEVER park
the tractor on an incline.
