Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with equipment.
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the implement and tractor.
Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.
Always be sure the implement is in the fully raised position when in transport.
When removing, or adjusting equipment, be sure that your feet are never under the implement.
Be careful to avoid catching the implements on stumps or other immovable objects.
Use extra care when working on slopes.
Avoid excessive speed during operation.
Make implement adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor.
Before you operate the field cultivator, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Always ease the tractor into the load. It may be necessary to raise implement slightly and then lower to desired
working depth when tractor is moving.
Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e., buried pipes, rocks, concrete piers, uneven concrete slabs,
stumps, etc., when operating equipment.
Never operate tractor and implement under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off the
tractor and then run over by the implement.
Operating spring loaded cultivator shanks may suddenly fling rocks and clods. Keep all bystanders 25 feet
away and operator must wear safety glasses.
When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph (32 kph) at night or during the
day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering
control.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
