•
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of
the implement may cause the operator to lose control
of the tractor.
•
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the implement
to shift sideways.
•
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know the transport
height and width of your implement.
Attaching, Detaching and
Storage
DANGER
•
Do not stand between the tractor and
implement when attaching or detaching
implement unless both are not moving.
•
Chock the tires of the implement so it will
not roll when unhitched from the tractor.
•
Store in an area where children do not play.
IMPORTANT
Never store the HSL with it's weight on the disc
blades.
Attaching the HSL to the Tractor
1. Line the tractor up with the and back up close
enough to attach the hydraulic couplers, but not too
close to interfere with the hitch.
2. Connect the hydraulic jack couplers (the 1/4" hose
lines) to the tractor so the hitch height can be
adjusted.
•
This circuit will be the lowest priority circuit of all.
3. With the hitch height adjusted, continue to back the
tractor up and drop the hitch pin in.
•
For "wheeled" tractors, it is standard for the hitch
pin to be 1 inch behind the rear extremity of the
rear tractor tires.
•
"Track" tractors can vary from this standard and it
may be desirable to have your hitch extended.
IMPORTANT
Please consult your dealer if the hitch point is
forward of the rear extremity of your tracks.
4. Finish connecting the hydraulic couplers:
•
Highest priority, and most accessible control,
"Red" circuit, machine tilt circuit.

Maintenance Safety
Do not make adjustments or lubricate
implement while it is in motion.
•
Understand the procedure before doing the work.
•
Use proper tools and equipment.
•
Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
•
Block the implement so it will not roll when working
on or under it to prevent injury.
Prepare for Emergencies
