Safety InstructionsRemember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. Be certain that everyone operating this equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety practices.
The alert symbol is used throughout this manual. It indicates attention is required and identifies hazards. Follow the recommended precautions.
The safety alert symbol means… ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
CAUTIONThe caution symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
WARNINGThe Warning Symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
DANGER
The Danger Symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

IV. OPERATION & TRAVEL
1. Before using, ensure you are fully compliant with the safe operation of the machine and you have read and understood the manual.
2. After 10 hours of operation, ensure all nuts and bolts are re-checked for tightness. Check oil levels and any signs of oil loss.
3. Before operation, the tractor must have the right speed output of 540rpm to avoid damaging the machine.
4. The operating speed is 1.2-1.5 km/h. Any deviation will cause irrepairable damage and void your warranty.
V. CUTTING TOOL REPLACING
1. Before changing the cutting blades, stop the engine of the tractor, and after all moving parts have stopped, disconnect the PTO shaft.
2. Check the condition of each blade by carefully rotating the shaft. screw down all the bolts(1), replace used or damaged cutting tools and bolts making sure of the correct orientation of the blades, install left and right(4) blades carefully, tighten bolts(1) with shim(2)(If required) and nut (3), and tighten
bolt(1).
3. For best performance of the implement, use the original cutting tools only.
