SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Product Safety Precautions
Make certain all safety decals and reflectors are applied to your machine.
Refer to your local governmental regulations for more information on proper
procedures and markings for safe road transport in your area.
Do not travel over 40 km/h. Reduce speed in adverse weather, when turning or
travelling on inclines or uneven ground. Always start and stop slowly.
DANGER!
watch for wires.
Take care when transporting, raising or lowering the implement around power
lines. Serious injury or death to the operator or bystanders will result through
direct or indirect contact with power lines.
The operator is responsible at all times to comply with the local government
regulations and ensure the safe transport of the implement when transporting
large or oversized implements on public or private roadways. Careful
consideration must be given in order to prevent accidents with other vehicles
and avoid coming in contact with obstacles such as: bridges, tunnels,
overpasses, guard rails, road signs, traffic lights, power lines, public utilities,
and other structures that may be encountered along the chosen route. In some
jurisdictions the operator may be required to obtain special permits or arrange
for escorts before transporting oversized equipment. Rata Equipment is not
liable for personal or property damage caused by inappropriate, unauthorized
or unsafe transport or operation of equipment.
Never raise bucket when there are bystanders in the area of the implement
movement zone. Be certain all persons are clear of working area in and around
the bucket whenever raising or lowering or extending auger chute.
Make sure that the tractor is shifted into park before getting out to remove lock
pins. Never remove lock pins when the implement is sitting on uneven ground
where tipping could occur.
Never extend the auger chute by any mechanical method. Always charge the
hydraulic system first and use it to extend and retract the chute.
