Never operate the tractor and implement until you have read and completely understand this manual, the
Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and
implement.
Clear area to be tilled of stones, branches or other debris that could become entangled in the tines or be
thrown, causing injury or damage.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Ensure implement is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin or balls operate freely and are seated firmly in tractor PTO
stub shaft groove.
Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.
Check that the PTO driveline does not contact the swinging drawbar of the tractor. The swinging drawbar may
have to be removed on some tractors. Damage to the driveline could make it unsafe to operate.
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.
Operate the implement only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS).
Always wear your seat belt on tractors equipped with a ROPS. Serious injury or even death could result from
falling off the tractor ---particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS or
the tractor.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing
loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s posi-
tion exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss
from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over
a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
