ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
Always comply with all state and local lighting and
marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from being
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in
"locked up" position at all times.
Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat belt,
place transmission in neutral, engage brake, and
ensure all other controls are disengaged before
starting power unit engine.
Look down and to the rear and make sure area is
clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly
on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon
striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key,
inspect, and repair any damage before resuming
operation.
Before changing positions of manual swing, tilt, or
angle positions:
Park tractor on level ground, apply parking
brake, level implement boom, shut off tractor, and
remove key.
Make manual changes slowly and carefully to
prevent hazardous movement of mechanisms.
Never stand in positions where you could become
entrapped during adjustment changes or if the
3-point hitch suddenly lowers.
Always secure lock pins with safety pins to prevent
lock pins from bumping out of the positioning holes.
Failure to do so may result in accidents and/or
damage to rear blade.
Before dismounting power unit or performing any
service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage
power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all
raised components to the ground, operate valve levers
to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake,
stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
SAFETY RULES
Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping
due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or
mechanical component failure.
MAINTENANCE
Before dismounting power unit or performing any
service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage
power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all
raised components to the ground, operate valve levers
to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake,

Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower attachment to ground, turn off engine, set
parking brake, and remove key.
Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping
due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or
mechanical component failure.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to
avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy,
rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for
eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the equipment or any of its components
in any way.
Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted,
and in good operating condition.
Never perform service or maintenance with engine
running.
Keep all persons away from operator control area
while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Tighten all bolts, nuts and screws to torque chart
specifications. Check that all cotter pins are installed
securely to ensure equipment is in a safe condition
before putting unit into service.
Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if
damaged. (See Safety & Instructional Decals section
for location).
