Hitching Tractor to Sub-Soiler
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between sub-
soiler and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or
killed by being crushed between the tractor and sub-soiler.
Stop tractor engine and set parking brake before attaching
cables and hoses.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
