that all people working with you or for you abide by all
safety instructions.

following pages and on the implement decals (signs)
attached to the implement. This section explains their
meaning.

NOTE
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the implement decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
•
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the
correct safety decals for the implement. See
Figure 1-3.
•
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
•
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed
readily. It is important to keep these decals cleaned
more frequently than the implement. Wash with soap
and water or a cleaning solution as required.
•
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also,
be sure that any new implement components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to
them by the manufacturer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
•
When applying decals to the implement, be sure to
clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil etc.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the tractor or
implement. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the implement.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from implement during
operation.
Transporting Safety
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
•
When transporting the implement on a road or
highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflectors,
lights and slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow
moving tractors and towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult
to see, especially at night.
•
Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing
vehicle.
•
Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the road.
•
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
•
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
implement may cause the operator to lose control of
the tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the implement.
•
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the implement
to shift sideways.
•
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know the transport
height and width of your implement. See
"Specifications" on page 5-1.
Prepare for Emergencies
•
Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy
•
Keep emergency numbers for the doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near the phone.
