Don't hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted. Ease into it and become familiar with your new equipment.
•
Practice operation of your equipment and its attachments. Completely familiarize yourself and other operators with its opera-
tion before using.
•
Use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System (ROPS) and fasten your seat belt prior to starting the engine.
•
The manufacturer does not recommend usage of tractor with ROPS removed.
•
Move tractor wheels to the widest recommended settings to increase stability.

chain.

Do not allow anyone to stand between the tongue or hitch and the towing vehicle when backing up to the equipment.
•
Children should not be allowed on the product.
•
Clear the area of small children and bystanders before moving the feeder.
•
If using a towing unit, securely attach feeder by using a hardened 3/4" pin, a metal retainer, and safety chains if required. Shift
towing unit to a lower gear before going down steep downgrades, thus using the engine as a retarding force. Keep towing ve-
hicle in gear at all times. Slow down for corners and rough terrain.
•
Make sure you are in compliance with all local and state regulations regarding transporting equipment on public roads and
highways. Lights and slow moving signs must be clean and visible by overtaking or oncoming traffic when feeder is trans-
ported.
•
Beware of bystanders, particularly children! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start the engine of the towing
vehicle or move the unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people
shouting.

NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED - Do not carry passengers anywhere on, or in, the tractor or equipment, except as required
for operation.
•
Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.

Do not clean, lubricate or adjust your equipment while it is moving.
•
When halting operation, even periodically, set the tractor or towing vehicle brakes, disengage the PTO, shut off the engine and
remove the ignition key.
•
\Be especially observant of the operating area and terrain - watch for holes, rocks or other hidden hazards. Always inspect the
area prior to operation.
