Operation - Woods PRD6000E Manuel D'utilisation

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the mower. The operator
must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the mower, the trac-
tor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and
safety decals on pages 4 to 6.
This mower is designed for lawn and grass mowing. It is not designed for rough
conditions or heavy weed mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for
best results in lawn mowing.
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from 3.2 to 8.0 km/h (2 to
5 mph).

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed when operating in
populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people
or damage property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain or rubber shielding,
operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet (92
m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92 m).

Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

Keep bystanders away from equipment.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is
seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

Before working underneath, carefully read Operator's Manual
instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all cor-
ners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents
equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failures, or mechanical component failures.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing
adjustments, service, or maintenance.

Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an
obstruction. Dismount power unit, using proper procedure. Inspect and
repair any damage before resuming operation.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or
filter mask where appropriate.
