SAFETY AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.
APPROVED TRACTORS, MODEL HP 700 Row Crop Tractors with 200 HP PTO rating or larger are approved for operation with the HP 700 Spreader. Utility Tractors are NOT APPROVED because of drawbar weight limitations and the inability to ballast the tractor enough to meet requirements for towing.
Page 14
PREPARING THE TRACTOR BALLASTING THE TRACTOR CAUTION: Do not tow loads that weigh more than twice the tractor weight. (See Recommended Maximum Towing Speed in Transport section.) To ensure proper stability, adjust ballast and wheel spacing according to tractor operator’s manual. POSITIONING DRAWBAR IMPORTANT: Tractor PTO and machine driveline can be damaged.
