• Never make contact with underground utilities such as
electrical power lines, gas lines, phone lines, etc. They can
cause serious injury or death from electrocution, explosion,
or fire. If in doubt, call 811 (USA) before digging so that
they can mark the location of underground services in the
area. For contact information, see Dig Safe in the
“Important Safety Information” starting on page 1.
Inspection After Hook-Up
Make the following inspections after attaching Rear Blade
to tractor:
1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in
good working condition.
2. Make sure all blade components are properly
lubricated. See “Lubrication Points” on page 18.
3. Check clearances between blade and tractor
throughout the range of all blade motions. See
“Check Clearances” on page 14 for detailed
instructions.
Check Clearances
1. With Rear Blade hitched to a tractor, raise blade off
the ground and angle blade as far as possible
towards the right rear tractor tire. Refer to
“Blade
Angling and Reversing” on page 11 for instructions.
2. Offset blade to align end of blade with the tractor’s
right rear tire. Refer to “Blade Offset” on page 11 for
instructions.
3. Slowly raise 3-Point lift arms fully up and down to
make sure blade does not make contact with tractor
tire, drawbar, and any other equipment on the tractor.
a. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with blade.
b. Set tractor control lever stop to restrict lifting
height if blade interferes with tractor tire.
4. Tilt end of blade closest to the tractor tire fully up and
repeat step 3 above. Refer to “Blade Tilt” on page 12
for instructions.
5. Tilt end of blade closest to the tractor tire fully down
and repeat step 3 above.
6. Return “Blade Offset” , “Blade Angling and
Reversing” and “Blade Tilt” to center position.
7. Angle blade as far as possible towards the left rear
tractor tire and repeat steps 2 through 6
IMPORTANT: Do not hitch implement to a tractor
rated outside the recommended horsepower range.
Doing so can bend and/or break the implement.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when working areas where
obstructions can be hidden. Always mark potential
hazards with a visible flag. Travel slowly through high
risk areas and be prepared to stop immediately
should implement make contact with a solid object.
Unhooking the Rear Blade
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
When using the park stand, make sure it is fully down with wire
retaining pin fully inserted and wire retainer over end of pin.
If not, the implement could fall.
Unhook Rear Blade from tractor as follows:
1. Park on a level solid hard surface. Place tractor gear
selector in park and set park brake.
2. Rotate parking stand down and secure with wire
retaining pin. Make sure retainer is hooked over pin.
3. Lower blade and parking stand onto level ground or
onto blocks supporting the unit just above ground.
4. Shut tractor engine off and remove key.
5. If needed, adjust length of upper center 3-Point link
until hitch pin can be removed from hitch frame.
6. Remove linchpins from lower hitch pins and pull hitch
pins out.
7. Move lower 3-Point arms out of the way and reinstall
hitch pins, linchpins and hairpin cotters in the Rear
Blade hitch frame for storage.
8. Refer to “Long-Term Storage” instructions on page
17 if Rear Blade is being stored for a long time.
Transporting
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always keep a safe distance from obstructions. The implement
can extend beyond tractor tires and makes a wide swinging
pattern when turning. Never hit solid objects with implement
as this can damage property and cause tractor to pivot
violently resulting in loss of control.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• When traveling on roadways, travel in such a way that
other vehicles may pass you safely. Use LED 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.
• Make sure implement does not block tractor’s Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) sign when transporting on a public road. If
operators in vehicles approaching from the back cannot
easily see the sign, then install one on the implement that is
visible to warn of your presence.
•
Transport with implement centered behind the tractor. An
implement offset to one side can extend beyond the tractor
tire which creates a a higher risk of hitting traffic and other
obstructions.
