Operating Safety
□
Become familiar with the disk and its operation before using the unit. Read this manual carefully
and contact your dealer if you have any questions.
□ Never allow riders on the tractor or disk. Serious injury or death could result from falling in the
path of the disk while in operation or transport.
□ Be sure bystanders are clear of the disk before raising or lowering the disk. Accidental movement
of the controls or hydraulic failure could cause the disk to suddenly fall.
□ Be sure bystanders are clear of the disk before operating the disk. Before entering the tractor,
walk around the disk making sure no one is on, under or in front of the disk. Moving the disk
while someone is between or in front of the gang assemblies could result in serious injuries or
death.
□ Never work under a raised disk. Always lower the disk to the ground before inspecting or
servicing. Never rely on the hydraulic system to hold up the disk.
□ Use extreme caution when working around disk blades. The blades are sharp and could cut
hands, legs, etc. Wear gloves to handle disk blades or gang assemblies.
□ Do not operate close to ditches, deep bodies of water or on excessively steep slopes.
□ Before dismounting from the tractor to service or make adjustments, always
1. Lower the disk to the ground.
2. Shut the tractor off.
3. Engage the tractor’s parking brake or place transmission in park.
4. Relieve the hydraulics by moving the control back and forth.
5. Remove the key.
Unanticipated movement of the disk while working around the disk gangs could result in serious
personal injury or death.
