Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and windrower with the ROPS in the
raised position. If the tractor or windrower hits a tree stump or bump, a sudden movement could throw you off of
the seat and under the tractor and windrower. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor and
the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris that is larger than 25” , stop the implement and tractor at once. Immediately
idle the engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to stop, then raise the implement and
move the tractor and implement off the object. Inspect the area and mark the location of the debris. Inspect the
condition of the implement and make any needed repairs immediately. Make sure the teeth on drum are not
damaged before resuming operation.
WARNING! Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working
on. Take time to make yourself aware of any area underground lines or
cables. Contact with buried lines or cable could result in
