Safety
Information
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
tractor and implement under trees with low
hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off
tractor and run over by implement.
This One Row Cultivator is only
designed for speeds less than 5 mph.
Reduce speed on rough surfaces.
When the use of hand tools is required
to perform any part of assembly,
installation, adjustment, maintenance,
repairing, removal or moving the blade,
be sure the tools used are designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer for that
specific task.
Personal protection equipment including
hard hats, safety glasses, safety shoes,
and gloves are recommended during
assembly, installation, operation,
adjustments, maintenance, repairing, removal, or
moving the One Row Cultivator, DO NOT ALLOW
long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be
around moving parts.
Always use two people to handle heavy,
unwieldy components during assembly,
installation, removal, or moving the One
Row Cultivator.
Never place any part of your body where it
would be in danger, if movement should
occur during assembly, installation,
operation, maintenance, repairing,
removal or moving the One Row Cultivator.
Never place yourself between the tractor and
One Row Cultivator while implement is in
operation. When removing, or adjusting
equipment, be sure your body is never
under the implement.
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor.
Use extreme care during travel. Slow
down on turns and watch out for bumps.
The tractor may need front counter-
weights to counter-balance the weight of the
One Row Cultivator.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination
while operating this equipment. Consult
your doctor about operating this machine
while taking prescription and some over-the-
counter medications.
