SAFETY INFORMATION

Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed
by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment.
• When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to
one side, not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use
a safety cage if available.
• When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-
handling equipment adequate for weight involved.

Chemical Safety

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can
seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil & property.
• Read chemical manufacturer's instructions and store
or dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care & avoid inhaling smoke from any
type of chemical fire.
• Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
• Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
• Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.

NOTE
Relieve hydraulic pressure by shifting the control valve
lever to float.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Safety Chain
1. Use a Safety Chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the Tractor Drawbar.
2. Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater
than the gross weight of towed machinery, which is
10,100 pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE
S338.2 specifications. If two or more machines are
pulled in tandem, a larger chain may be required.
Chain capacity must be greater that the TOTAL
weight of all towed implements.
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
3. Attach the chain to the Tractor Drawbar Support or
specified anchor location. Never attach the chain to
an intermediate support. Allow only enough slack in
the chain to permit turning. The distance from Hitch
Pin to attachment point or intermediate support point
should not exceed 9 inches. If the distance from the
Drawbar Pin to either the front or rear attachment
point exceeds 9 inches, intermediate chain is
required. See Figure 1-2.
4. Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
5. Do not use a safety chain for towing.
