All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who
recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.
When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation, adjustment, maintaining,
repairing of the implement, be sure the tools used are designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer
for that specific task.
Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during
assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing of the implement.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly or installation of the
implement.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing of the implement.
Never place yourself between the tractor or ATV and implement while implement is in operation.
Disc blades are sharp! Do not allow discs to roll over or fall on any part of the body. Do not allow wrenches to
slip when working near disc blades. Do not climb over machine above disc blades. Failure to stay clear of disc
blade edges can result in serious personal injury.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Do not allow others to ride on the tractor or ATV with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being
struck by foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation.
Never allow anyone to ride on the implement!
Before you operate the equipment, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the safety rules and operation instructions to use this equipment.
Never allow children to operate or be around equipment.
Know your controls and how to stop tractor, engine, and implement quickly in an emergency. Read this manual
and the one provided with your tractor.
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with equipment.
Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.

placing one foot near the center of the unit to prevent it
from rolling forward and allow it to come to rest in the
vertical position. Remove the tongue retaining pin and
reverse the tongue. Reinstall the retaining pin.
(See Fig. A & B)
Place one foot on the inner axle bearing and pull the
tongue downward into the discing position.
