BE AWARE OF THE
SAFETY ALERT
SYMBOL
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indi -
cates potential hazards to personal
safety and extra safety precautions
must be taken. When you observe this
symbol, be alert and carefully read any
messages that follow it. In addition to
design and configuration of the equip -
ment, hazard control, and accident
avoidance are dependent upon the
awareness, caution, and proper train-
ing of personnel involved in the opera -
tion, maintenance, transportation, and
storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
A signal word designates a degree or a
level of hazard seriousness. The signal
words are:
Danger – Indicates a hazard-
ous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in serious injury or death.
Warning – Indicates a hazard-
ous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in serious injury or death.
Caution – Indicates a hazard-
ous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in minor to moderate injury.
Tragedy and injury can occur if the
operator is not alert to the presence of
children.
•
Keep all children out of the work area
and under the watchful eye of a
responsible adult that is not the oper-
ator of the equipment.
• Be alert and turn off the implement
and tractor if children should enter
the work area.
• Never allow children to climb or ride
on the tractor or the implement at
any time. There is no safe place on
the machine for a rider. They may fall
off and be run over or interfere with
the operator’s ability to control the
machine.
• Never allow children to operate the
power machine or implement, even
under adult supervision.
• Use extreme caution when operating
in reverse. Before the tractor starts
to move, look down and behind to
ensure the area is clear.
TRACTOR SHUTDOWN
& STORAGE
• If engaged, disengage PTO, park
machine and implements on solid,
level ground and lower implement to
the ground or onto additional support
blocks.
• Put tractor in park or set park brake,
turn off the engine, and remove
switch key to prevent any unautho -
rized starting.
• Relieve all hydraulic pressure to
auxiliary hydraulic lines.
• Do not leave the operator’s seat until
all components have stopped.
• Use steps, grab-handles, and an-
ti-slip surfaces when stepping on and
off the tractor.
• Detach and store implement in an
area where children do not normally
play. Secure the implement using
blocks, supports, or wedges.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR CHILDREN
Your best assurance against an accident or injury is the careful operation of all equipment. All operators, no matter
their experience, should carefully read this manual and other related documents, or have the manuals read to them
before operating the power machine and any Homestead Implements product.
• Thoroughly read the “Safety Information” section and understand all instructions noted on them.
• Never operate the equipment or implements while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Operator should be familiar with all functions of the tractor and the attached implement.
• Ensure all correct guards and shields are in place and securely fastened before operating implement.
• Keep any and all bystanders away from attached equipment and the work area.
• Only start tractor from the driver’s seat with the hydraulic controls in neutral.
• Never dismount from a moving tractor or leave the tractor running and unattended.
• Never allow anyone to stand between the tractor or the implement while backing up to the implement.
• Keep hands, feet, and any loose clothing away from power-driven parts.
• While operating equipment, be sure to distribute loads evenly & watch for overhead objects, as well as fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.
• Do not make exceedingly tight turns as it may cause the hitched implement to ride up on the tractor’s rear wheels.
• Store all implements in an area where children do not play. When needed, secure the attachment against falling or rolling with support blocks
or wedges.
SAFETY AT ALL TIMES
Safety Information
• A safety chain will help the
machine control the hitched
implement should it separate from
the tractor drawbar.
• Always hitch the implement to the
machine towing it, do not use the
safety chain alone to tow the
implement.
• Use a chain with a strength rating
equal to or greater than the
complete gross weight of the
towed implement.
• Attach the safety chain to the
tractor drawbar support or other
specified anchor location. Only
allow enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
• Always comply with federal, state, and local laws when towing equipment.
• Be aware and avoid any contact with overhead utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
• Use towing vehicles and trailers of adequate size and capability only.
• Secure all equipment on trailer with appropriate tie downs and chains.
• Sudden and drastic braking can cause a towed trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed when in transit if the attached trailer does not have independent brakes.
• Always drive with the load on the end of leader arms low to the ground.
• Always drive straight up and down steep inclines with the heavy end of a tractor or
implement with loader attachment on the “uphill” side.
• Always engage parking brake when stopped on an incline.
• IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of the vehicle
towing the load.
USING A SAFETY CHAIN
ALWAYS TRANSPORT SAFELY
• Understand procedures before doing any work. Refer to Operator’s Manual for additional information and to confirm that any
work done will not void the Homestead Implements Warranty.
• Work on a level surface in a clean dry area that is well-lit.
• Lower implement to the ground and follow the shutdown procedures before leaving the machine’s operator seat to
perform any maintenance.
• Use properly grounded electrical outlets and tools and only use tools that are in good operating condition.
• Allow equipment to cool completely before performing any work on it.
• Do not work under any hydraulic supported equipment. Implement can settle, suddenly leak down, or be lowered
accidentally. If it is necessary to work underneath the equipment, securely support it with stands and suitable blocking
beforehand.
• Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before welding on the implement.
• Replace parts on this implement with real Homestead Implements parts only. Do not alter this implement in a way which will
adversely affect its performance.
• Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
• Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
•
Inspect all parts and ensure that the parts are in good condition & installed properly.
• Always be sure that any material and waste from the repair and maintenance of the implement are properly collected and
disposed of.
• Remove all tools and unused parts before operating the implement.
• Do not weld or torch on galvanized metal as it will release toxic and dangerous fumes.
