shafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drivetrain components, and bearings. These parts are made and tested
to Alamo Industrial s pecifications. Non-genuine "will fit" p arts do not consistently meet these specifications.

Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go
up hills only at a low speed and using a grad ual steering angle. Rear mounted implements
move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make cer-
tain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor's weight is on the front wheels to
prevent r earing u p, loss o f s teering c ontrol or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough o r
uneven surfaces to prevent lo ss of steering control which could result in property damage
or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the trac-
tor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
Allow su fficient clea rance for th e Imple ment to swing outward while tu rning. Imple ments
carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. C ontacting a
solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.
