(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
Always comply with all state and local lighting and
marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from being
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in
“locked up” position at all times.
Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat belt,
place transmission in neutral, engage brake, and
ensure all other controls are disengaged before
starting power unit engine.
Look down and to the rear and make sure area is
clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly
on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon
striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key,
inspect, and repair any damage before resuming
operation.
Before changing positions of manual swing, tilt, or
angle positions:
Park tractor on level ground, apply parking
brake, level implement boom, shut off tractor, and
remove key.
Make manual changes slowly and carefully to
prevent hazardous movement of mechanisms.
Never stand in positions where you could become
entrapped during adjustment changes or if the
3-point hitch suddenly lowers.
Always secure lock pins with safety pins to prevent
lock pins from bumping out of the positioning holes.
Failure to do so may result in accidents and/or
damage to rear blade.
Before dismounting power unit or performing any
service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage
power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all
raised components to the ground, operate valve levers
to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake,
stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
