Spraying near chipped or scratched paint can
also cause paint to peel more.
• Sand down scratches and edges where paint is
missing and repaint to prevent rust.
• Inspect machine for worn or damaged parts.
Replace any missing safety stickers.
• Store the unit in a shed or under tarpaulin
to protect from the weather. The shank tines
should be resting on boards or some other
object. Keep out of soil when storing. This will
reduce rusting.
• Store in clean, dry place away from human
activity or livestock.
Safety Precautions
• Most accidents occur because of neglect or
carelessness. Avoid needless accidents by
following all of the safety precautions below.
• Machinery should be operated only by those
who are responsible and are authorized to do
so.
• Stop the engine, lower all equipment, lock the
brakes, and remove the ignition key before
dismounting tractor.
• Never stand between tractor and implement
while tractor is being backed to a hitch. Loose
fitting clothing should not be worn, to avoid
catching on various parts.
• Detach implement in an area where children
normally do not play.
• When performing adjustments or maintenance
on an implement, lower it to the ground or
block it securely at a workable height.
• Only a qualified operator should be permitted
on the tractor when in operation; NO RIDERS
ALLOWED.
• Make certain everyone is in the clear before
starting tractor or raising / lowering equipment.
• Operate the tractor and implement only while
seated in the driver’s seat.
• Reduce speed when transporting mounted
implements to avoid bouncing and momentary
loss of steering control.
• A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor.
Use extreme caution during road travel. Slow
down on turns and watch for bumps. Tractor
may need front counter-weights to counter-
balance the weight of the implement.
• Reduce speed on hillsides or curves to avoid
the possibility of tipping.
• Avoid driving too close to the edge of ditches
or creeks.
• Do not transport implement on public roads
without reflectors and Slow Moving Vehicle
emblem in daylight and with approved warning
lights at night and other periods of poor
visibility.
• Due to the width of some implements, use extra
caution on highways, farm roads, and when
approaching gates.
• Always be sure the implement is in the proper
position for transporting.
• Keep alert and watch the front, as well as the
rear, when working with the implement.
