Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as gravel, rocks,
wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before tilling. Foreign objects should be removed
from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects
that cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop
operating immediately if discs strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain
rotor and discs are in good condition before resuming operation.
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocity Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or
even death. Inspect the area for such objects before working in the area. Remove any such
objects from the site. Never allow the implement to contact such objects.
In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park
position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and
remove the key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting.
(SG-39)
Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees, may attack you and/or
cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor
with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor
cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to
shield you from the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor,
which can result in serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving
tractor.
(SG-40)
DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death.
(STI-03)
Do not operate the Implement when bystanders or animals are near (within 50 feet) the
equipment. This Implement is capable of throwing objects for significant distances and
causing serious injury. Stop the Tractor and Implement immediately if a bystander or
animal comes near the equipment.
