WARNING!
Never leave Tractor and Implemented unattended while the implement is in the lifted position.
Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with
injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor,
lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-
Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted
components.
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up
WARNING!
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.
loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury.
transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping
implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly
cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
DANGER!
A rear Implement can fall if not properly supported. Always use the stand on the front hitch (if
equipped) or block up securely to prevent falling and possible crushing injury and/or other injury
from holding or lifting heavy components. Use the stand to stabilize the implement during storage.

power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in rough terrain
conditions that include tall grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and the like.
Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the safety of the operator
and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the immediate area.
(S3PT-7)
WARNING!
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair
work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work.
DANGER!
This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
DANGER!
Never stand or walk directly behind the Implement. If the shank, plow or coulter contacts a
solid object then a compressed spring or retaining bolt could fail resulting in serious injury.
Never remove any compressed spring retaining bolts or nuts without first relaxing all spring
tension.
