7.1 Starting the Skid Steer
Refer to the skid steer operator's manual for proper starting procedures. Consult an authorized dealer if the
starting procedure is unclear. Make sure that the skid steer parking brake is set, its transmission is in neutral,
the implement is lowered to the ground, and the auxiliary hydraulic remote lever is disengaged before starting
the skid steer. Only start the skid steer when properly seated in the operator's seat with the seat belt securely
fastened.
To avoid overturns, drive the skid steer with care and at safe speeds, especially when operating over rough
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning corners. Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes.
Travel at a slow speed when going downhill. DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
When operating the skid steer and windrower across slopes and inclines, through ditches, and other uneven
terrain conditions, it is important to maintain sufficient deck to ground clearance.
8. OPERATING THE SKID STEER AND MULTI RAKE WINDROWER
THE
OPERATOR
UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE SKID
STEER
AND
WINDROWER
CONTROLS
BEFORE
OPERATE.
The
operator
understand the Safety and Operation Sections of
the windrower and skid steer operator's manuals.
These manuals must be read and explained to any
operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to
operate the windrower and skid steer without
complete operating instructions.
Before starting any operation, the operator must
become familiar with the area to be windrowed and
any obstacles and hazards contained within to
ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and
equipment. Special attention should be paid to
foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and
passersby and animals in the area.
Many varied objects, such as wire, roots cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in
the rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at
great velocities. 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.
