2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
• Have another person nearby and prepared to shut down the equipment in
case of an emergency or accident.
• Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed.
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Stay away from ham-
mer during operation.
• Do not modify the factory-installed position of the hydraulic control valve
assembly.
• Engage park brake on tractor during operation to prevent movement of the
pounder and tractor.
• Ensure both feet of the pounder frame firmly contact the ground during oper-
ation to prevent damage to equipment.
• Do not place more than 280 lbs of weight in ballast box. An overloaded bal-
last will cause excessive stress on the hydraulic system and can damage the
equipment and/or potentially injure operators.
• Keep jacks raised during transport and normal operation (lower jacks when
storing pounder or operating with hammer at an extreme angle).
