INSTALL SAFETY SHIELDING
Install Optional Chain Shielding
 Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must
be installed when operating in populated areas or
other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-
ple or damage property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain,
rubber, or steel band 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 protec-
tive 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).
The optional chain shielding assemblies are ready for
installation when you receive them.
1. Refer to Front & Rear Chain Shielding, page 58
and attach as shown by inserting the bolts from
inside the cutter frame out through the shielding.
2. Install hardware as shown in the parts drawing.
Install Rubber Deflector
1. Attach rubber deflector (1) and link (2) to front of
cutter using carriage bolts (3) and flange lock nuts
(4).
2. Insert bolts from inside the cutter frame out through
the shielding.
