SAFETY
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or
Implement may cause serious injury or death. (SG-29)
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work. (S3PT-09)
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting
this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in operating Rear Blades and Box Scrapers
as in all power-driven equipment. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in rough
terrain conditions that include gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and the like.
Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the personal safety of
the operator and bystanders in the area. (SBL-1)
NEVER PARK BLADE ON THE BACK OF THE MOLDBOARD. Inadvertent falling could
cause serious injury or even death. ALWAYS LOWER HITCH onto stand or onto secure
blocks. (SBL-2)
Never leave blade unattended in the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a
hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with subsequent injury or death by crushing.
Lower Stand and pin in place, or put a secure support under the A-Frame. Lower Blade
carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted components. (SBL-4)
