Page: 21 / 56

If possible, it is advisable to start work around the perimeter of the field and then work
the interior of the field back and forth
(see fig. 14) . This will reduce maneuvering time
and ensure that no crop is left unturned.
DANGER: Never operate the tedder without first ensuring that all protective
devices are properly installed.
WARNING: Tedder tines can throw objects which could result in personal injury
or property damage. Pick up all rocks and other debris before operating unit.
Enter new areas carefully.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the tractor and tedder
quickly. On the tedder always disengage the PTO, lock parking brake, stop engine
and allow the tedder tines to come to a complete stop before dismounting the
tractor.

ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
