ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
Make sure driveline guard tether chains are
attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in
the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline.
Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline
guards rotate freely on driveline before putting
equipment into service.
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit PTO
shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter shafts.
Adapters can cause driveline failures due to incor-
rect spline or incorrect operating length and can
result in personal injury or death.
Before starting power unit, check all equipment
driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged
guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all
drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive-
lines, repair and replace bearings before putting
equipment into service.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in "locked up" position at all times.
Remove accumulated debris from this equip-
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.
Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace
if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Do not put this equipment into service unless all
side skids are properly installed and in good condi-
tion. Replace if damaged.
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight
must be on the tractor front wheels when attach-
ments are in transport position. Without this weight,
front tractor wheels could raise up resulting in loss
of steering. The weight may be attained with front
wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not
estimate.
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
TRANSPORTATION
When transporting, pay special attention to over-
head power lines and make sure the machine has
sufficient clearance to pass.
8 Safety
SAFETY RULES
Power unit must be equipped with Roll Over Pro-
tection System (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seat belt.
Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power
unit can result in death from being run over or
crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in "locked
up" position at all times.
Always raise unit and install transport locks
before transporting. Leak down or failure of
mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equip-
ment to drop.
Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar
when transporting unit.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Do not operate PTO during transport.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The maximum transport speed for towed and
semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).
Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the
towing tractor, do not exceed the implement's maxi-
mum transport speed. Doing so could result in:
• Loss of control of the implement and tractor
• Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
• Implement tire failure
• Damage to the implement or its components.
Use additional caution and reduce speed when
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on
inclines.
Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.
OPERATION
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operat-
ing, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing
equipment.
Stay away from the machinery during a thunder-
storm. Do not operate machine during a thunder-
storm. If lightning from a thunderstorm strikes
during operation, remain in the tractor cab. Do not
make contact with the ground or objects outside the
machine. Do not leave the cab until the storm has
passed.
