    SAFETY FIRST! Equipment Safety Guidelines Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.

  • Page 10: Performing Maintenance

    • Be observant of bridge loading ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than the gross weight at which you are operating. • Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side while transporting. • Always operate equipment in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make allowances for increased length and weight of the equipment when making turns, stopping, etc.

  • Page 11: Maintenance And Service Schedule

    OPERATING SUGGESTIONS There are some important points to remember in order to obtain the best possible results from your McFarlane harrow. • To maximize the harrow’s performance, it should be towed at speeds ranging from six to nine (6 - 9) mph. This keeps the field debris moving through the harrow sections and avoids clogging.

  • Page 12: Assembly Suggestions

    ASSEMBLY SUGGESTIONS • You will find the machine is easier to assemble if the set-up instructions are followed in the order given in the manual. • Before beginning, sort the various bolt bags, hardware bags and hydraulic bags according to what part of the unit that is being setup.
