Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can
cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to
be injured or killed.
WARNING Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while turning.
Implements carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns.
Contacting a solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.
(S3PT-20)
WARNING Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty
brakes or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the
Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out
for the other guy.
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the tractor. Turn curves or
go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that
at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow
down on rough or uneven surfaces.
Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices
Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before
driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your
operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see
the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to
maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or
even death.
WARNING Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.

WARNING Do
not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this Implement, any of its
components or any Implement function.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is
securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in
motion or while tractor engine is running.
