Safety
Information
This Box Blade was designed for
one-man operation from the tractor
seat. Most accidents occur
because of neglect or
carelessness. It is the responsibility
of the operator to see that no one is within
twenty-five feet (25’) of the blade when it is in
operation. Do not operate the implement with
another person near, or in contact with, any part
of the Box Blade. Serious personal injury or
death may result if any attempt is made to assist
operation by hand.
Only properly trained people
should operate this machine.
It is always recommended the
tractor be equipped with a
Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) and a seat belt that is
used. Always stop the PTO,
set break, shut off the tractor engine, remove the
tractor key, and allow implement to come to a
complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never
leave equipment unattended with tractor
running.
The use of this equipment is subject
to certain hazards which cannot be
protected against by mechanical
means or production design. All

read and understand this entire manual, paying
particular attention to safety and operating
instructions, prior to using. If there is something
in this manual you do not understand, ask your
supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Please remember it is important that you read
and heed the safety signs on the Box Blade, and
the safety rules set forth herein. Clean or replace
all safety stickers if they can not be clearly read
and understood. They are there for your safety
as well as the safety of others. The safe use of
this machine is strictly up to you, the operator.
All things with moving parts are potentially
hazardous. There is no substitute for a
cautious, safety-minded operator who
recognizes potential hazards and follows
reasonable safety practices. The
manufacturer has designed this implement
to be used with all its safety equipment
properly attached, to minimize the chance
of accidents. Study this manual to make
sure you have all the safety equipment
attached.
When maneuvering close to buildings or
passing through narrow areas, be sure to
allow sufficient clearance for the
implement and tractor. NEVER operate

hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked
off tractor and run over by implement.
