Startup Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the Hydraulic Reservoir System.
Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates
the Hydraulic Reservoir System unless they are age 16 or
older and have read, fully understood, and are totally
familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure the
operator has paid particular attention to:
Perform the following inspections before using your
Hydraulic Reservoir System.
Operating Safety
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
•
Make sure when hooking up to a non reversing attachment
that the hydraulic hoses are properly connected and that the
hydraulic controls toggle in the correct direction. Running
non reversing attachments in reverse can damage the
equipment and cause injury.
•
Make adjustments to the implement after it has been
properly attached to a tractor and secured with solid non-
concrete supports in the up position. Never work around or
under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can
drop equipment instantly if controls are actuated or if
hydraulic lines burst even when power to hydraulics is shut
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Allow only persons to operate this implement who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been
properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and
who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result
from the inability to read, understand, and follow
instructions provided in this manual.
•
Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can
obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be
pinched by moving components, become entangled in
rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall
•
Do not operate Hydraulic Reservoir System without first
hooking the unit to a tractor. The hydraulic reservoir can
become unstable if not properly secured to a tractor during
operation.
•
Never make contact with underground utilities such as
electrical power lines, gas lines, phone lines, etc. They can
cause serious injury or death from electrocution, explosion,
or fire. If in doubt, call 811 (USA) before digging so that
they can mark the location of underground services in the
area. For contact information, see Dig Safe in the
“Important Safety Information” starting on page 1.
•
Make sure hydraulic hoses are properly routed without
twists to prevent becoming stretched, pinched, or kinked. A
damaged hydraulic hose can burst and leak hydraulic fluid.
•
Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
•
Do not use the Hydraulic Reservoir System for a purpose
for which it was not designed.
•
Do not use equipment to lift objects; to pull objects such as
fence posts, stumps, etc; or to push objects. The unit is not
designed or guarded for these uses.
•
Do not use implement to tow other equipment. Doing so can
result in loss of control and damage the equipment.
•
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook-up and unhook implement.
IMPORTANT:
Ball valve (#3) as shown in Figure 6-1
on page 32 must be open during pump operation or
damage will occur.
IMPORTANT:
Use this Hydraulic Reservoir System
only with equipment that matches its rated hydraulic
flow and pressure. Damage may occur to the unit
and to the equipment it is powering.
