Safety Information
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not operate hydraulic 3-point lift controls while
someone is directly behind tractor or near the implement.
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and
gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working
condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles
flying off of the driveline.
•
Do not engage power take-off while connecting or
disconnecting the driveline, or while someone is standing
near the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can
become entangled in the driveline.
•
Make sure the implement is lowered to the ground and all
hydraulic pressure is relieved before connecting or
disconnecting any hydraulic lines, fittings, or cylinders.
•
Do not allow anyone near the tractor or implement while
they are operating. Stop operation if bystanders are too
close. They can be hit by flying projectiles, become
entangled in the equipment, or ran over.
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to the hydraulics is off.
•
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.
•
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Allow only persons to operate this implement who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, and who have
been properly trained in the safe operation of this
implement. Serious injury or death can result from the
inability to read, understand, and follow instructions
provided in this manual.
•
Wear appropriate personal protective gear. Include eye
protection when appropriate and when operating a power
machine without an enclosure or protective shield. Dust and
debris can get into the eyes.
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
weight requirements and maximum limitations.
•
Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
