| |||
help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures: |

|
|
| |
according to the maintenance lubrication |

• Check the boom arm and head for worn and |
|
|
| |
damaged parts. Perform repairs and make |
|

Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off |

the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall |
| |||
crushing themselves or others. |
| |||
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set |
| |||
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the |
| |||
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the |
| |||
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor |
| |||
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine |
| |||
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only. |
| |||
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the |
| |||
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement |
| |||
and Tractor hitches. |
