SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)

Stop cutter and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn engine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.

The chain guards, bands, flaps, driveline shields, and gearbox shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. They should be inspected carefully, at least daily, for missing or broken cable, chain links, shields, or guards. Missing broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury from thrown objects or entanglement.

Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs.

Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.

Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes.

When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires of front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!

Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, pinched hydraulic hoses, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.

Be careful when operating tractor and cutter on uneven ground to avoid upsetting.

In extremely uneven terrain, real wheel weights, front tractor weight, and/or tire ballast should be used to improve stability.

Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up” tractor and cutter. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough terrain.

Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill.

Always cut down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control.
