DANGER
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Always keep a safe distance from obstructions. The
blade can extend beyond tractor tires and will make a
wide swinging pattern when turning. Never hit a solid
object with blade as this can damage property and
cause tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of
control, serious injury or death.
DANGER
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Make sure Rear Blade does not block tractor's Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign while transporting on a
road. Install a SMV on the rear blade if tractor's SMV
sign is blocked. Traffic not alerted to a slow moving
tractor might hit the tractor causing serious injury or
death.
Do not operate tractor with weak brakes or worn tires.
Transport on roadways with blade centered behind
the tractor to minimize blade overhang.
Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another and be sure to reduce speed
when turning.
When turning, leave enough clearance so the blade
does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees,
or fences.
When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. A slow
moving vehicle sign should be properly displayed
when traveling on public roads or right-of-ways.
Slow down if traveling on a wet slick road.
Shift to lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly
terrain and when going downhill.
Watch out for fences, trees, rocks, wires while
operating and transporting the attachment.
Turning the tractor too tight may cause hitched
accessories to ride up on the wheels. This could
result in injury and/or equipment damage.
TRANSPORTATION
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights,
SMV sign, clean reflectors and other adequate devices
to warn operators in other vehicles of your presence.
Always comply with all federal, state, provincial and
local laws.
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Transport with rear blade centered behind the tractor.
An offset blade extends past the tractor farther and
carries a higher risk of hitting traffic and other
obstructions that can cause serious injury or death.
