Safety Information
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Allow only persons to operate this implement who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been
properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and
who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result
from the inability to read, understand, and follow
instructions provided in this manual.
•
Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can
obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with control of the
equipment, be pinched by moving components, become
entangled in rotating components, be struck by objects, be
thrown or fall from the equipment, etc.
•
Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor
and/or implement can roll over. Consult your tractor’s
manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of
traveling across.
•
Do not allow children to play on or around stored
equipment. Children and/or stored equipment can fall
causing serious injury or death.
•
Walk carefully around the harrow to prevent falling onto the
unit. Always store harrow with spike teeth pointing down.
•
Beware of pinching fingers when changing the angle of the
spike teeth .
•
Clear area to be worked of debris and other unforeseen
removable objects. Mark any potential hazards that cannot
be removed such as tree stumps, post, rocks, holes, drop-
offs, etc. with a visible flag.
•
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 as a man lift or work platform. It is
not properly designed or guarded for this use.
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service.
•
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.
Tractor Shutdown Procedure
The following are basic tractor shutdown procedures.
Follow these procedures and any additional shutdown
procedures provided in your tractor Operator’s Manual
before leaving the operator’s seat.
1. Reduce engine speed and disengage power take-off
if engaged.
2. Park tractor and implement on level, solid ground.
3. Lower implement to ground or onto non-concrete
support blocks.
4. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off engine,
and remove switch key to prevent unauthorized
starting.
5. Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic
lines.
6. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop
before leaving the operator’s seat.
7. Use steps, grab-handles and anti-slip surfaces when
stepping on and off the tractor.
Transporting
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way that
faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory 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. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave
enough clearance so harrow does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
IMPORTANT: Do not add weights to the harrow.
Adding weights will cause high tooth wear and/or
bend harrow frame and bars.
IMPORTANT: Always raise harrow off the ground
before backing up. Backing up with spike teeth in the
ground can damage the harrow and tractor.
