During Operation:
SAFETY CHAIN - If equipment is going to be transported on a public highway, a safety chain should
be obtained and installed. Always follow state and local regulations regarding a safety chain when
towing farm equipment on a public highway. Be sure to check with local law enforcement agencies for
your own particular regulations. Only a safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic tow strap) should be
used to retain the connection between the towing and towed machines in the event of separation of the
primary attaching system.
Install the safety chain by crossing the chains under the tongue and secure to the draw bar cage or hitch
or bumper frame.
Beware of bystanders, particularly children! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start
the engine of the towing vehicle or move the unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels
and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting.
NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED - Do not carry passengers anywhere on, or in, the tractor or
equipment, except as required for operation.
Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.
Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust your equipment while it is moving.
When altering operation, even periodically, set the tractor or towing vehicle brakes, shut off the engine,
and
remove the ignition key.
Pick the levelest possible route when transporting across fields. Avoid the edges of ditches or gullies
and steep hillsides.
Periodically clear the equipment of brush, twigs, or other materials to prevent buildup of dry
combustible materials.
Maneuver the tractor or towing vehicle at safe speeds.
Avoid overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with overhead lines could cause serious injury or
death.
Do not walk or work under raised wings unless securely positioned in wing rests.
Keep all bystanders, pets, and livestock clear of the work area, particularly when raising or lowering
harrow sections.
Operate the towing vehicle from the operator’s seat only.
As a precaution, always recheck the hardware on equipment periodically. Correct all problems. Follow
the maintenance safety procedures.
DO NOT turn while the unit is in the ground.
DO NOT operate the unit in frozen ground.
Following Operation:
When disconnecting, stop the tractor or towing vehicle, set the brakes, lock the lift cylinders with the
lock brackets, lock the wings in the wing rests, relieve hydraulic fluid pressure, shut off the engine and
remove the ignition keys. Make sure all jack and support stands are in place before removing hitch
pins.
Store the unit in an area away from human activity on a hard level surface.
