During Operation - Tar River SAYA-507 Operator's Manual

•
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 operation 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.
•
Securely attach to towing unit. Use a high strength, appropriately sized hitch pin with a mechani-
cal retainer and attach safety 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 vehicle 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 equip-
ment on public roads and highways. Lights and slow moving signs must be clean and visible by
overtaking or oncoming traffic when feeder is transported.
•
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.
