11.FOREIGN DEBRIS HAZARDS
Before rock picking, inspect the area to make sure
there are no objects larger than 27" to rock pick or
debris that can get entangled on the drum.
Remove all foreign objects and debris. If objects
are too big to remove, mark them clearly and be
sure to prevent the implement from contacting
them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris that is
larger than 25", disengage the hydraulics and
PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to stop and move
the tractor and implement off the object. Inspect
the area and mark the location of the debris.
Inspect the condition of the implement and make
any needed repairs immediately. Make sure the

operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and rock picker with the ROPS in the
raised position. If the tractor or rock picker hits a tree stump or bump, a sudden movement could throw you off
of the seat and under the tractor and rock picker. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor
and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over. OPS-W-0002_C str

11.1 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. Set the tractor
engine speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to the on position,
and slowly increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at the rated speed. If you hear unusual noises
or see or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the windrower to determine the
cause of the noise or vibration and repair the abnormality
Do not put hands or feet under implement as it can result in death or
serious injury. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the frames are
securely blocked up.
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any shield if
it is damaged or missing.
