the operation of the Model 9630FH Field Cultivator.
Decal Safety
1.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the
correct safety decals for the implement.
2.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed
readily. It is important to keep these decals cleaned
more frequently than the implement. Wash with soap
and water or a cleaning solution as required.
3.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also,
be sure that any new implement components
installed during repair include decals which are
assigned to them by the manufacturer.
4.
When applying decals to the implement, be sure to
clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue.
Where possible, sign placement should protect the
sign from abrasion, damage, or obstruction from
mud, dirt, oil etc.
DANGER
Transporting Safety
1.
Thoroughly read and understand all operating
procedures contained in this manual before
attempting to transport this implement.
2.
It is the responsibility of the operator to
understand and comply with all federal, state,
and local requirements before transporting the
field cultivator.
3.
When transporting the implement on road or
highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflectors,
lights, SIS, and slow moving vehicle signs as
required. Verify that all symbols and lights are clearly
visible and functioning before transporting. Transport
during daylight hours whenever possible. Slow
moving tractors and implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads and can be difficult to
see especially at night.
4.
Do not tow an implement that when fully loaded, that
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing
vehicle. Never tow the implement with a motor
vehicle. Tow the implement only with a properly
ballasted tractor.
5.
Use a locking-style hitch pin that properly fits the
tractor drawbar and the implement hitch. Lock the
tractor drawbar in the center position to prevent loss
of steering control.
