SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a tractor. Make sure the front or rear of the tractor is properly
counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer
badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the tractor or implement at any time. ALLOW
NO RIDERS!
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying
particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you
do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at a safe distance.
REMEMBER FALLING BALES CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.
Always insert spears into the bale securely. Failure to insert spears into bale can allow bale to roll in an
uncontrolled direction.
Do not handle bales that exceed the bale weight limitations of the implement.
Operate the hydraulic controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation.
Carry the bale slowly and as low as possible to the ground.
Never use the tractor or implement to stop a rolling bale.
Only use a power unit equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep foldable ROPS sys-
tems in “locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.
When stacking bales, ALWAYS MAKE SURE BALES ARE PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.
