12.2 Operating the Implement
Only operate the implement from the tractor operator's seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. The tractor
must be equipped with a ROPS Cab.
The implement is designed for horticultural, agricultural, or commercial applications cultivation. Maintained
discs and harrows will produce a better cultivation and require less power. Travel at a speed that allows the
implement sufficient time to cultivate the ground. Choose a driving pattern that provides the maximum pass
length and minimizes turning.
DO NOT operate in the reverse direction, damage to the DISC HARROW will occur. In
situations where the implement must be backed to access areas, make sure the discs and
harrows are in a raised position out of the ground and there are no persons or other foreign
debris behind the implement before operating in reverse. When operating in reverse,
operate the tractor and implement at a reduced ground speed to ensure tractor and
implement control is maintained.
12.1 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before operating, inspect the area to make sure
there are no foreign objects that the implement
could hit or become entangled with. Remove all
foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to
remove, mark them clearly.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the
implement and tractor at once. Immediately idle
the engine speed, raise the implement and move
the tractor and implement off the object. Inspect
the area and remove, or mark the location of the
debris. Inspect the condition of the implement and
make any needed repairs immediately. Make sure
the implement is not damaged before resuming
operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and
only operate the tractor and implement with the
ROPS/Cab. If the tractor or implement hits a tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement could throw you
off of the seat. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor and the ROPS/Cab provides
protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.
