Safety Information
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Never allow anyone to ride or walk on the harrow. They can
fall and be ran over causing serious injury or death.
• Stay away from electrical power lines when transporting
and when operating hydraulics to lift and fold implement.
Electrocution can occur without personally making contact
with the power lines.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a 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. A doctor familiar with this
type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or
gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
•
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.
•
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 use tires as a step or lean against them. They can
move suddenly even when they appear to be on solid ground
resulting in a falling hazard against metal protruding
objects.
• Walk carefully around the harrow to prevent falling onto the
unit. Always store harrow with spike teeth pointing down.
• Allow no one near or behind the harrow while unfolding
wings and lowering implement to the ground. The tongue
weight can temporarily shift from positive to negative. The
harrow can tip over backwards or fall suddenly if unit
comes unhitched from the tractor, looses hydraulic pressure
or if a cylinder pin falls out. Any of the above can cause
serious injury or death.
•
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, work platform or as a
wagon to carry objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use.
•
Be aware of negative hitch weight when unhooking the
Spike Tooth Harrow, especially when the wings are not
folded and secured with transport chains.
• Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury
or death.
•
Never work near utilities such as gas lines, electrical lines,
or other hazards that can cause serious injury or death from
electrocution, explosion, or fire.
Fold Harrow For Transporting
Refer to Figure 3-1:
1. Park on a solid level surface.
2. Raise harrow sections fully up. Make sure lift cylinder
stop nut is against cylinder housing.
3. Fold wings fully in and secure with transport
chains (#3) as follows:
a. Make certain guide bars (#1) are resting fully on
wing support (#2).
b. Wrap transport chains (#3) around wing
frames (#5) as shown.
c. Pull transport chains tight while holding them level
at the wing frames.
d. Attach closest chain loop to transport hook (#4).
Make certain transport chain is in its tightness
position.
4. The harrow is now ready for transporting.
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.
IMPORTANT: Harrow is 24 ft. wide. Slow down and
be ready to stop when working near solid objects.
Allow sufficient room to make turns.
IMPORTANT: Slow down and be ready to stop when
crossing uneven terrain with wings folded. The wing
tires can drag on the ground causing serious
damage to the equipment and tires.
IMPORTANT: Make certain harrow is fully raised
before folding wings. Hydraulic cylinders and harrow
frame can be damaged if harrow is not fully raised
before folding wings.
