GENERAL INFORMATION
The operator must read and understand the information in this
manual to ensure the correct service and operation of the machine
and avoid unnecessary risk of accidents and breakdowns.
Please Note:
Stop the tractor engine before you adjust, lubricate, or repair the machine. Remember to
remove the ignition key to make sure no one starts the tractor while you are repairing the
machine.
Do not let anyone underneath the machine once it is connected to the tractor. Always
disconnect power when servicing.
Do not let anyone get close to or stay close to the machine while it is in operation. Do not
squeeze between the machine and the tractor as an unintentional maneuver may result in
serious injury.
Make certain that the hydraulic components are not subjected to continuous operating
pressure exceeding 1800 psi or intermittent pressures of 2350 psi. A higher pressure may
cause danger of exploding parts, hot oil exposure, or component failure.
Tractor Requirements:
It is recommended that the tractor operator use hearing protection in case of insufficient
sound insulation in the cab. In order to keep full control of the tractor in all circumstances, at
least 20% of the tractor’s total weight should be on the front axle. It may be necessary to
regulate weight distribution with additional weights.
Do not overload your vehicle beyond the manufacturer’s payload limits. If there are any
questions concerning weight limits, contact vehicle manufacturer.
