•
Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where the
tractor and/or implement can rollover. Consult your
tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is
capable of traveling across.
•
Do not use implement as a man lift, work platform or as a
wagon to carry objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use.
•
Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can
obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be
pinched by moving components, become entangled in
rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall
off and be run over, etc.
•
Do not use implement to lift objects; to pull objects such as
fence posts, stumps, etc; or to push objects. The unit is not
designed or guarded for these uses.
•
Do not use implement to tow other equipment unless it is
designed with a tow hitch. Doing so can result in loss of
control and damage the equipment.
•
Do not use implement to wrap wire or other items. Doing so
can cause bodily injury and/or equipment damage.
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the
implement back into service.
•
Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
•
Buildup of debris around moving components and
gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and
gearboxes free from debris.
•
Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such a driveline
will break apart while rotating at high speeds. Always
remove the implement from use until the damaged driveline
can be repaired or replaced.
•
Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica
particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis). Because crystalline silica is a basic component
of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching,
sawing, and boring of material containing crystalline silica
can produce dust containing crystalline silica.
•
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin
or eyes causing serious injury. Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than
hands, when searching for leaks. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
DO NOT DELAY.
Tractor and Powered Rake
Inspection
Make the following inspections after attaching the
Powered Rake to the tractor. Make certain power take-off
is disengaged and completely stopped before continuing.
1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in
good working condition.
2. Carefully raise and lower implement with the
Powered Rake set at the maximum 15 degree angle
to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and other
equipment on the tractor do not contact the frame or
driveline.
3. Check hoses to ensure that they will not contact
driveline. Check power take-off guards to make
certain they are in good condition and in place.
4. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear, damage, and
hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Hazard”
on page 3
.
Replace damaged and worn
hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.
5. Set tractor throttle to idle or slightly above idle and
slowly engage the power take-off. Once the Powered
Rake is running smoothly, increase tractor power
take-off speed to the rated power take-off speed.
Stop power take-off rotation immediately if vibration
occurs. Wait for the power take-off to come to a
complete stop and then dismount from the tractor to
check for probable causes.
Transporting
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
When traveling on roadways, travel in such a way that other
vehicles may pass you safely. Always use lights, clean
reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that is visible from
the back to warn operators in other vehicles of your presence.
Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
1. Be sure that the driveline does not contact tractor or
Powered Rake when raising the Powered Rake to the
transport position.
2. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when
turning; and to leave enough clearance between the
Powered Rake and other obstacles such as
buildings, trees, or fences to prevent damage from
contacting them.
3. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another. When traveling on roadways,
transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles
may pass you safely.
4. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage power take-off
before raising the Powered Rake to transport
position.
