4 - Standard Disc Harrow
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground
speed when transporting on hillside, over rough
ground and when operating close to ditches or
fences.
Be alert for holes in terrain and other hidden
hazards.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements when operating on
highways.
Watch for traffic when crossing roadways.
Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to pre-
vent tipping or loss of control. Be careful when
changing directions on slopes.
Stop tractor immediately upon striking an ob-
struction. Turn engine off, inspect disc and repair
any damage before resuming operation.
Never place hands or feet under disc while trac-
tor engine is running or when disc is not prop-
erly secured with safety stands or blocks.
Take all possible precautions when leaving trac-
tor unattended. Set parking brake, stop engine
and remove key from ignition.
Front tractor weights or front tire ballast will en-
hance front and stability. Approximately 20% of
tractor and equipment weight should be on the
front wheels.
Never work without safety blocks.
Keep engine free of grass, leaves or excess
grease to reduce fire hazard.
Do not change engine governor settings or
overspeed engine.
Keep tractor and disc in good operating condi-
tion and all safety devices in place.
Periodically tighten all bolts and nuts and check
that all cotter pins are properly installed to en-
sure disc is in a safe condition.
