Safety Information
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the implement.
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.
Pull from drawbar or lower 3 pt. arms only. Failure to hitch properly could cause tractor to flip over, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Use extreme caution when backfilling deep holes or trenches.
Use care when working on slopes.
Avoid excessive speed during operation.
Make adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor.
When using a rear blade in a reverse position, use extra care. Do not ram rear blade into piles of dirt. Tractor
lift arms and the rear blade are not built to take high impact loads in this position. Ramming backwards can
also dislodge operator from seat and/or tractor controls, resulting in possible serious injury or death.
Always ease the tractor into the load. It may be necessary to reposition and take less “bite” on the material to
move it safely.
Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e., buried pipes, rocks, concrete piers, uneven concrete slabs,
stumps, etc., when operating rear blades, box scrapers, or other ground engaging implements.
NEVER operate any PTO driven implement unless tractor PTO guard is in place and PTO driveline shielding
is in place.
Always shut off tractor and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving tractor. Always lower implement to
ground. Remove key when leaving tractor unattended.
Before operating equipment: if you have any questions regarding the proper assembly or operation, contact
your dealer or representative.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out
by a single careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of equip-
ment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence
and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of an operator.
