- Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the
tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and
watch out for the other guy.
• turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted
implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels.
make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front
wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or tractor tip-over.
• slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in
property damage or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and
in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to
the tractor and/or implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
• In wet conditions where there is a likelihood of material collecting on the implement, make
certain that excess material is removed before traveling on public roadways.
• allow sufficient clearance for the implement to swing outward while turning. Implements carried
behind the tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a solid object
while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.
Maintenance and Service Safety

machine in good working order.
• Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the
unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts have
proper torque. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this implement in good operating
condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even death.
• Use extreme caution when getting onto the implement to perform repairs, maintenance and
when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing.
slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death.
