PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is your responsibility. Maintenance neglect and/or poor maintenance
practices can result in injury or death. Always use the proper tools to maintain implement.
AVOID CRUSHING. Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement
to the ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS AND CYLINDER STOPS TO SUPPORT THE
IMPLEMENT.
Store implement on a clean, dry, and level surface. An uneven surface could cause
implement to shift or fall, resulting in injury or death, as well as implement damage.
Securely support all implement components that must be raised. Store implement away
from human activity.
AVOID ENTANGLEMENT.
Never lubricate or service implement in motion.
Keep away from power driven parts when in motion. Disengage power sources prior to
maintaining implement. Injury or death can result from contact with power driven parts
when in motion.
AVOID CRUSHING
.
Do not stand between the tractor and implement when
connecting or disconnecting implement. Injury or death can result from being trapped
between the tractor and implement.
Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate skin, resulting in injury or death.
Relieve hydraulic system pressure before connecting or disconnecting tractor. Use card-
board or wood,
NOT BODY PARTS,
to check for suspected hydraulic leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If
an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately for proper treatment.

Implement is to be operated by qualified personnel only. Never let children operate
implement. A complete understanding of safety precautions, operation, and maintenance
is mandatory before implement use.
AVOID ELECTROCUTION.
Be aware of overhead power lines. Contact or close
proximity to power lines can result in injury or death. Use extreme care when operating
implement near power lines.
• Know implement transport height and gross weight. Avoid overhead obstructions not
allowing your transport height. Do not use bridges rated below combined implement
and tractor weight.
AVOID ROLLOVER.
Do not fold or unfold implement and avoid sharp turns when
on a hillside, as shift of weight could cause rollover. Operate implement at a safe distance
from terrain irregularities and other obstructions that could cause rollover.
