Safety Section 1-3

SAFETY

Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and

completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and

each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement. Learn

how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow inexperienced or

untrained personnel to operate the Tractor and Implement without supervision. Make sure

the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.

(SG-4)

Always maintain the safety decals in good readable condition. If the decals are missing,

damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement decals immediately.

(SG-5)

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in

such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the

Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.

(SG-6)

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-

over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. 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.

(SG-7)

Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this

Implement, any of its components or any Implement function.

(SG-8)

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set

the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the

engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever

into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a

Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the

tractor seat only.

(SG-9)

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
