Page 6: General Safety Instructions And Practices
SAFETY General Safety Instructions and Practices A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions.
Page 7: Operator Safety Instructions And Practices
SAFETY Operator Safety Instructions and Practices Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement.
Page 8: Equipment Operation Safety Instructions And Practices
SAFETY DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely.
Page 9 SAFETY Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.
Page 10 SAFETY Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily.
Page 11: Connecting Or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions And Practices
SAFETY Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees, may attack you and/or cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to shield you from the insects.
Page 12: Transporting Safety Instructions And Practices
SAFETY Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over.
Page 13 SAFETY Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Page 14: Maintenance And Service Safety Instructions And Practices
SAFETY Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.
Page 15 SAFETY Cancer and Reproductive Harm www.P65Warnings.ca.gov Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death. (SG-14) Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in motion or while tractor engine is running.

Page 68: Rake Storage
OPERATION RAKE STORAGE Properly preparing and storing the implement at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures: • Thoroughly clean all debris off the implement to prevent damage from rotting hay and standing water.
Page 69 OPERATION Before transporting the tractor and implement, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Once all implement parts are completely stopped, raise the implement to transport height. OPS-RK-0011 Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals should be locked together.
Page 70: Transporting
OPERATION 12.1 Transporting ATTENTION: When the hay rake arms are lifted, the shape of the hinges carries the weight toward the tractor and makes it possible to decrease the machine dimensions. Check carefully during the lifting stage to make sure that parts of the machine do not touch parts of the tractor. Check to make sure that with certain tractors during transport operations, while steering or when moving over uneven ground the hay rake arms do not touch parts of the tractor, with the risk of causing damage to both machines.
Page 71: Transporting On Public Roadways
OPERATION 12.3 Transporting on Public Roadways Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.
Page 72 OPERATION Safety Tow Chain If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar.
Page 73: Hauling The Tractor And Implement
OPERATION 12.4 Hauling the Tractor and Implement Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, measure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the complete loaded unit.
