WARNING!
Never leave Tractor and Implemented unattended while the implement is in the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor, lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A- Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted components.
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor
A rear Implement can fall if not properly supported. Always use the stand on the front hitch (if equipped) or block up securely to prevent falling and possible crushing injury and/or other injury from holding or lifting heavy components. Use the stand to stabilize the implement during storage.
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.
Make sure the PTO shield is installed when using
Always replace the PTO shield if it is damaged or missing.
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.
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
DANGER! | This Implement is 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. |
DANGER! | DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely |
| locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the |
| Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the |
| frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely |
| supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these |
| components could cause serious injury or even death. |
