These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲
Slow moving tractors,
self-propelled equipment, and
towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public
roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
▲
Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲
Understand procedure before
doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲
Work in a clean dry area.
▲
Lower the implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲
Allow implement to cool
completely.
▲
Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲
Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
▲
Remove buildup of grease, oil or
debris.
▲
Remove all tools and unused
parts from implement before
operation.
Tractors With Cabs or
ROPS
▲
There should be sufficient
clearance for the operator when
mounted to a tractor with a cab or
that is equipped with ROPS.
▲
The ROPS may need to be
extended or flipped around to
obtain sufficient clearance.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲
Comply with state and local laws.
▲
Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrain require a
slower speed.
▲
Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with brakes.
▲
Use the following maximum
speed - tow load weight ratios as
a guideline:
▲
20 mph when weight is less than
or equal to the weight of tractor.
▲
10 mph when weight is double
the weight of tractor.
▲
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the
weight of tractor.
