Safety Information

DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not operate hydraulic 3-point lift controls while
someone is directly behind tractor or near the implement.
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Do not engage power take-off while connecting or
disconnecting the driveline, or while someone is standing
near the driveline. A person's body and/or clothing can
become entangled in the driveline.
•
Do not allow anyone near the tractor or implement while
they are operating. Stop operation if bystanders are too
close. They can be hit by flying projectiles, become
entangled in the equipment, or ran over.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor's power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
Page
the purpose of the tractor's power take-off shield.

WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
1
•
Always follow "Tractor Shutdown Procedure" provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
Do not use implement as a man lift, work platform or as a
12
wagon to carry objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use.
16
•
Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can
obstruct the operator's view, interfere with controls, be
23
pinched by moving components, become entangled in
rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall
22
off and be run over, etc.
•
Buildup of debris around moving components and
28
gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and
gearboxes free from debris.
•
29
Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire
hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level.
•
Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such a driveline
29
will break apart while rotating at high speeds. Always
remove the implement from use until the damaged driveline
can be repaired or replaced.
34
•
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Be certain your tractor's power take-off shaft is set-up to
34
operate at 540 rpm. Do not exceed 540 rpm power take-off
speed. Excessive speed can damage drive/driven
components and increase the risk of a thrown object hazard.
•
Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica
particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis). Because crystalline silica is a basic component
of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching,
sawing, and boring of material containing crystalline silica
can produce dust containing crystalline silica.
