Foreign Debris Hazards - Schulte Titan 5000 II Series Operator's Manual

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at
great velocity. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or
even death. Inspect the area for such objects before working in the area. Remove any such
objects from the site. Never allow the implement to contact such objects.

9.1 Foreign Debris Hazards

Before rock picking, inspect the area to make
sure there are no objects larger than 27" to rock
pick or debri that can get entangled on to the
grate. Remove all foreign objects and debris. If
objects are too big to remove, mark them clearly
and be sure to prevent the implement from
contacting them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris that is
larger than 27" , stop the implement and tractor
at once. Immediately idle the engine speed and
disengage the hydraulics.. Wait for all rotating
motion to stop and move the tractor and
implement off the object. Inspect the area and
mark the location of the debris. Turn the tractor
off and relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the
remote levers back and forth. Inspect the
condition of the implement and make any
needed repairs immediately. Make sure the
Batts, Reel, Motor or Coupler are not damaged
before resuming operations.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and rock picker with the ROPS in
the raised position. If the tractor or rock picker hits a tree stump or bump, a sudden movement could throw you
off of the seat and under the tractor and rock picker. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the
tractor and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underwater or underground lines or cables. Contact with
buried lines or cable could result in serious injury or death.
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this Implement as in all
power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in rough
terrain conditions that include grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and
the like. Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the safety of
the operator and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the
immediate area. Stop operating if anyone comes within 25 feet of the equipment.
Ground Speed
Ground speed for rock picker will depend upon the size of the rocks being picked. Recommended speed for
