SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

PREPARATION

„Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

„Do not connect a low-pressure hydraulic hose into a high-pressure system—it will burst the hose. Do not use a high-pressure hose in place of a low- pressure hose—it is possible to rupture the valve.

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head.

„Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

TRAINING

„Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace- ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

„If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

„Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

„Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach- ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instruc- tions.

„Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death.

„Make sure that all operating and service person- nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan- grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

„Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

„Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.

„A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

„Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

„Make sure circuit selector lever does not hit tractor cab, etc. throughout operating range of 3- point hitch of tractor. Bend lever, if necessary, to clear cab, but it should still be convenient to oper- ate from the tractor seat.

OPERATION

„Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

„Do not operate equipment while under the influ- ence of alcohol or drugs.

„Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

„Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.

„Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.

RB750-4, RB850-4 specifications

The Woods Equipment RB850-4 and RB750-4 are two powerful and efficient rotary tillers designed for serious lawn and garden care. Both models embody rugged construction and advanced technology, making them ideal choices for homeowners and professionals alike.

The RB850-4 offers an outstanding working width of 85 inches, enabling the user to cover a significant area in a shorter time frame. This model is equipped with four durable, cast iron gearboxes that facilitate smooth operation and prolong the lifespan of the equipment. The adjustable tilling depth allows operators to customize the soil preparation according to specific needs, whether for seedbed preparation or incorporating organic matter into the soil.

On the other hand, the RB750-4 features a slightly narrower working width of 75 inches, providing agility in tighter spaces without compromising performance. It also employs the same four cast iron gearboxes for reliable power distribution. The robust tines of both models are specifically designed for efficient soil mixing, turning and aeration, enhancing soil structure and health.

One of the main features of both the RB850-4 and RB750-4 is the innovative Quick-Connect attachment that streamlines the process of interchanging with other implements. This design principle enhances productivity, allowing users to quickly switch tools without wasting time. Moreover, both models are engineered for compatibility with a broad range of tractors, enhancing their adaptability across various farming and gardening applications.

The advanced technologies incorporated into these tillers also include a protective shield that reduces the risk of debris getting stuck in the tines. This not only extends the operational capability of the tillers but also enhances user safety during operation. Additionally, the rear roller on both models ensures a smooth finish, leveling the soil after tilling.

In summary, the Woods Equipment RB850-4 and RB750-4 rotary tillers combine power, efficiency, and versatility into a high-performance package. With their robust design, adjustable features, and advanced technologies, these tillers stand out in the market, promoting healthier soil and contributing to successful gardening and landscaping outcomes. Whether for intensive tilling or light garden maintenance, both models offer unparalleled value and reliability, making them a worthy investment for both amateur and professional users.
