tions or safety rules can result in serious injury or
death.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach
-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instruc
-
tions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person
-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan
-
grene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION
Heavy Components: To avoid muscle strain or
back injury, use lifting aids and proper lifting tech
-
niques.
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.
Power unit must be equipped with Roll Over
Protection System (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 system in “locked
up” position at all times.
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
Keep unit from swinging side-to-side by using
stabilizer bars, adjustable sway chains, or sway
blocks on tractor lift arms. Adjust tightly for best
results.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven
-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con
-
cern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
