Attaching, Detaching and Storage
1. Do not stand between the tractor and implement
when attaching or detaching implement unless both
are not moving.
2. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic lines
and hoses are not damaged.
3. Completely raise machine and install transport locks.
If desired to store lowered and on unpaved surface,
place hardwood blocks under roller to keep off
ground.
4. Block implement so it will not roll when unhitched
from the tractor.
5. Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling
hydraulic hoses from tractor.
6. Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
NOTE
To relieve hydraulic pressure: Depending on tractor
hydraulic system, some can be relieved by actuating
control lover after engine is stopped. If tractor has electric
over hydraulic controls, it may be necessary to move the
control lever to the float position. Refer to tractor’s
operator’s manual.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Maintenance Safety
1. Block the implement so it will not roll when working
on or under it.
2. Transport Locks installed.
3. Do not make adjustments or lubricate implement
while it is in motion.
4. Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all
system pressure is relieved.
5. Understand all maintenance procedures before
doing the work. Use the proper tools and equipment.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
NOTE
To relieve hydraulic pressure: Depending on tractor
hydraulic system, some can be relieved by actuating
control lover after engine is stopped. If tractor has electric
over hydraulic controls, it may be necessary to move the
control lever to the float position. Refer to tractor’s
operator’s manual. The implement should be lowered to
the ground, this will put the weight on the rollers.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Protective Equipment
1. Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose fitting clothing.
2. Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear
suitable hearing protection, such as earmuffs or
earplugs.
Chemical Safety
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil &
property.
1. Read chemical manufacture’s instructions and store
or dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care and avoid inhaling smoke from
any type of chemical fire.
2. Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.
Prepare for Emergencies
1. Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy.
2. Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near phone.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
1. When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to
one side, not in front of or over the tire assembly.
Use a safety cage if available.
2. When removing and installing wheels, use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for weight
involved.
