NOTE
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the machine decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
• Examine safety decals and be sure you have the
correct safety decals for the machine. See Figure 1-3.
• Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
• Keep these signs clean so they can be observed
readily. It is important to keep these decals cleaned
more frequently than the machine. Wash with soap
and water or a cleaning solution as required.
• Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new machine components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to
them by the manufacturer.

CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER
• When applying decals to the machine, be sure to
clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil
etc.

• Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or
machine. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the machine.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from machine during
operation.

Transporting Safety

IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
• When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
• Do not tow a machine that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
• Carry reflectors or flags to mark tractor and implement
in case of breakdown on the road.
• Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not
allow adequate control of steering and stopping.
Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes
• Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine.
• Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.
• Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know transport height
and width of your machine. Refer to transport
dimensions "Specifications" on Page 5-1.
