SAFETY
WARNING!
Do not operate with two machines in the same area except with Cab
tractors with the windows closed.
(SGM-11)
WARNING! DO NOT weld or repair rotating implement components. Welds and
other repairs may cause severe vibration and/or component failure
resulting in parts being thrown from the implement causing serious
bodily injury. See your Authorized Dealer for proper repairs.
(SGM-13)
WARNING!
Operate at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
implement. Safe operation speed depends on terrain condition and soil
type, density, and height of operation. Normal ground speed range is from
0 to 5 mph. Use slow operation speeds when operating on or near steep
slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when
debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.
(SGM-7)
WARNING!
Avoid operating in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure
there are no persons behind the implement and use extreme care when
operating in reverse. Operate only at a slow ground speed where you can
safely operate and control the tractor and implement. Never operate on an
area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.
(SGM-8)
WARNING!
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
entangled in the rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could
then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades.
Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury
or even death. Inspect the working area for such objects before working
in the area. Remove any such objects from the site. Never allow the
blades to contact such objects.
(STL-6)
DANGER! Do not put hands or feet under implement. Blade Contact can result in
serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the frame is securely blocked up.
(STL-3)
WARNING! Operate only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness or foggy conditions where
you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of the tractor
and implement. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep
slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign
objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type of items discontinue operation.
