changing the grate height. Lowering the grate raise the dump height and raising the grate lowers the dump
height.
When dumping make sure that the rock picker is
placed on level ground. Raising the bucket on
uneven ground could cause the implement to be
off balance and shift causing damage to the
implement or tip over.
Avoid traveling in the reverse direction when
possible. In situations where the implement must
be backed to access areas to be rock picked
make sure there are no persons, posts, animals,
or foreign debris behind the unit before picking in
reverse. The machine cannot operate in the
reverse direction.
Ensure that all persons are well clear of the rock picker before dumping the bucket. Watch
for low hanging overhead lines.
Do not transport the rock picker at high speeds when it is fully loaded. Take special care while
transporting a loaded rock picker over rough ground.
Do not operate the rock picker reel at greater than 44 RPM. If rocks become wedged in any
location on the machine such as in the ends of the grate bars at the space between the grate
and the bucket lip, make sure to remove them. Ensure all shield, guards and other safety
devices are in place before operating the implement. Do not pick rocks with two machines in
the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.
Ensure all persons are well clear of the rock picker before putting it into operation.
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or
Implement may cause death or serious injury.
Use extreme care when transporting the rock picker on public highways and roads. The combination of rock
picker and the tractor is longer in length. The implement is also wider than the tractor. Allow ample clearance
when transporting the tractor and implement to insure that they do not contact any bystanders, signs, road
structures, or other vehicles.
Ensure that all persons are well clear of the rock picker before dumping the bucket. Watch
for low hanging overhead lines.
Do not transport the rock picker at high speeds when it is fully loaded. Take special care while
transporting a loaded rock picker over rough ground.
Stay alert and watch for trees, power lines, posts, signs, and all other overhead and ground obstructions while
you are rock picking. Use extreme care to avoid hitting these types of obstructions.
