CSS48-60 Safety Rules (4/05/2019)
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
 Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
 Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
TRANSPORTATION
 Use additional caution and reduce speed when
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on
inclines.
 A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without this
weight, front tractor wheels could raise up result-
ing in loss of steering. The weight may be attained
with front wheel weights, ballast in tires, front trac-
tor weights or front loader. Weigh the tractor and
equipment. Do not estimate.
 Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
 Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
 Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
 Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
 Install Lighting Kit 611743 when this equipment
obscures the tractor’s tail lamps or stop lamps.
 Always raise unit and install transport lock
before transporting. Leak down or failure of
mechanical/electrical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.
 Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar
when transporting unit.
 Never exceed 25 mph (40.2 km/h) during trans-
port.
MAINTENANCE
 Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
 NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equipment
or between moveable parts even when the engine
has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak-down,
hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or
movement of control levers can cause equipment
to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe
injury or death.
• Service work does not require going under-
neath.
• Read Operator's Manual for service instruc-
tions or have service performed by a qualified
dealer.
 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
 Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
 Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
 Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
 Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
STORAGE
 Block equipment securely for storage.
 Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
