SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
•
Stop implement and tractor immediately upon striking
an obstruction. Turn engine off, remove key, inspect
and repair any damage before resuming operation.
•
When performing any service or maintenance, disen-
gage power to implement. Lower all raised compo-
nents to the ground. Operate valve levers to relive
any hydraulic pressure. Shut off the engine, set the
parking brakes and remove the ignition keys before
dismounting tractor.
•
Keep all persons away from operator control area
while performing adjustments, service or mainte-
nance.
MAINTAINANCE SAFETY
•
Before working underneath, raise equipment to high-
est position, install transport locks, and block secure-
ly. Blocking up prevents equipment dropping from
hydraulic leak down or mechanical failure on the trac-
tor.
•
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement parts.
Substitute parts may not meet original equipment
specifications.
•
Do not climb or walk on equipment frame.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
•
Use a Slow—Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem and
proper lighting on the tractor when transporting the
equipment.
•
Do not drive the tractor and equipment over 20 mph
(30 kph) on the best surface conditions. Reduce
speed when going up and down hills and when ap-
proaching ditches or corners.
•
Always comply with all state and local lighting and
marking requirements.
•
Check condition of hitch pins and blots before trans-
porting.
•
Keep your equipment in proper working condition.
Unauthorized modifications to the equipment may
impair the function and affect the equipment life. Do
not add excessive weight to the equipment. Additional
weight could cause the frame to fail resulting in loss
of control of equipment/tractor during transport.
•
Raise equipment to highest position for transport.
•
Watch low hanging Overhead Power Lines during
transport. Avoid contact as this can cause serious
injury or death.
