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.
When removing, or adjusting equipment, be sure that your feet are never under the implement.
Be careful to avoid catching the implements on stumps, rocks, 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.
Do not replace shear bolt with a hard bolt. Damage could result to implement and sudden stop to tractor could
dislodge operator from tractor seat causing injury.
Always ease the tractor into the load.
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.
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.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering
control. Reduce speed on rough roads.
Coulter blades are sharp. Do not allow blades to roll over or fall onto any part of body. Do not allow wrenches
to slip when working near coulter blades. Do not climb over machine above coulter blades when there is a
possibility of slipping and falling on them. Serious injury can result from carelessness while working near
coulter blades.
