SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given. Study
these precautions carefully and insist that those working with you and for you follow them.
Finally, remember
this: an accident is usually caused by someone’s carelessness, neglect or oversight.
DANGER
Inspect and replace worn or frayed hydraulic hose, keep all connections tight. Escaping hydraulic fluid
under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury. Fluid
escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than the
hands to search for suspected leaks.
CAUTION
Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices. Be aware of
towed implement width and allow safe clearance.
CAUTION: SAFETY SIGNS
Safety decals are placed on the implement to alert the operator and others to the risk of personal injury or
unsafe operation during normal operations and servicing.
1. The safety decals must be kept clean and in good condition to ensure that they are legible.
2. Safety decals must be replaced if they are missing or illegible.
3. When components are replaced during repair or servicing, check that the new components include
the necessary safety signs.
4. Replacement safety decals may be obtained from your local Yetter dealer.
WARNING
Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always install the transport lock pins and bracket when
transporting for any length of time or on public roadways.
If required to service unit in raised position, be sure to install all transport lock pins and locking bracket.
Be sure the implement is securely locked in the 3-point quick hitch before operating.
Do not allow children to operate this equipment.
Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.
Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not operate on any slope steep enough to cause
tipping or loss of control.
Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.
Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment to do the
same.
In operating on public roadways, where legal, be certain all lighting is operating properly and observe all traffic laws.
Ensure slow moving vehicle emblem on tractor is visible.
Beware of increased stopping distances and control effort when operating with implements attached.
Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in an
emergency.
