(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud- denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.
Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.
Leak down or failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.
MAINTENANCE
Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the
Before performing any service or maintenance, lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.
Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop- ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or mechanical component failure.
Work not covered in SERVICE & MAINTENANCE must be done by a qualified dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety procedures may be required. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.
Your dealer can supply original equipment hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute parts may not meet original equipment specifica- tions and may be dangerous.
Use a suitable lifting device of sufficient capac- ity. Use adequate personnel to handle heavy com- ponents.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy,
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body under- neath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect- edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper- ator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.
Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Make certain all movement of equipment com- ponents has stopped before approaching for ser- vice.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper- ation and allows loads or equipment components to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all hydraulic functions several times. Do this before putting into service or allowing anyone to approach the equipment.
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury.
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe condition before putting unit into service.
