Equipment Safety Guidelines
Operator safety is the primary concern when designing
an Orthman implement. Orthman integrates as many
safety features into the implement as possible. You can
avoid many hazards and possible accidents by observing
precautions in this safety section.
Insist that yourself and personnel working with and
around you follow all safety precautions. Be cautious
when working with or around the implement to avoid
injury.
Safe Transport
Use the following guidelines for safe transport:
• Engage transport locking devices and cylinder stops
prior to transport.
• Plan your route to avoid traffic. Yield to traffic in all
situations.
• Various conditions will require reduced speed. Travel
at speeds that allow for adequate control of stopping
and steering.
DANGER
!
Avoid electrocution. Failure to follow this information
will result in death or serious injury. Be aware of
overhead power lines.
• Use extreme care when operating the implement
near power lines. Contact or close proximity to power
lines can result in injury or death.
• Know the transport height and gross weight of the
implement. Avoid overhead obstructions not allowing
your transport height. Do not use bridges rated below
the gross weight of the implement.
• Make sure a slow moving vehicle (SMV) placard is
mounted to the implement and is easily visible to
other motorists. See “Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)”
on page 2-7.
• Make allowances for implement size when
transporting. Sudden braking can cause a towed
load to swerve and/or rollover. Never use
independent braking with the implement in tow as
loss of control and/or rollover can result. Reduce
speed if the towed implement is not equipped with
brakes.
• Do not coast. Always keep the tractor or towing
device in gear to provide engine braking when
traveling downhill.
• Comply with state and local laws governing
implement transport.
Safe Operation
CAUTION
!
Read and understand the entire contents of this manual
before operating or servicing the implement.
The implement is to be operated by qualified personnel
only. Never let children operate the implement. A
complete understanding of safety precautions, operation,
and maintenance is mandatory before implement use.
DANGER
!
Avoid electrocution. Failure to follow this information
will result in death or serious injury. Be aware of
overhead power lines.
Use extreme care when operating the implement near
power lines. Contact or close proximity to power lines
can result in injury or death.
Know the transport height and gross weight of the
implement. Avoid overhead obstructions not allowing
your transport height. Do not use bridges rated below
your gross weight.
DANGER
!
Avoid rollover. Failure to follow this information will
result in death or serious injury. Do not fold or unfold the
implement when on a hillside and avoid sharp turns, as
shift of weight could cause rollover.
Operate the implement at a safe distance from terrain
irregularities and other obstructions that could cause
rollover.
WARNING
!
Avoid being struck by the implement. Failure to follow
this information could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement at
all times when the implement is in motion.
Be aware of obstructions above, below, and around the
implement when in operation or transport.
