death to the person standing nearby.

Keep feet, legs, and body clear when raising and lowering
the Kwik-Till. Keep others away.
DANGER
UPENDING HAZARD
TONGUE CAN WHIP UPWARDS WHEN UNHITCHING
The tractor MUST be equipped with a clevis hitch to
prevent the Kwik-Till from tipping upward while unfolding
from transport position, and folding into transport position.
To avoid bodily injury, lower the machine before removing
the hitch pin.
If negative tongue weight exists, the hitch tongue may
suddenly raise, and the rear section would come crash -
ing down. Only disconnect when the jack is lowered,
there is positive tongue weight, the unit is on level
ground, and in the proper transport or field position.
Never disconnect the Kwik-Till from the tractor if the rear sec -
tions of the machine are partially raised. Keep others away.
DANGER
CRUSH HAZARD
Avoid being crushed in between the tractor and the
implement.
When working in the danger area between the Kwik-Till
and the tractor always ensure that the Tractor engine is
turned off and the Key removed. Keep others away.
