Look For The Safety Alert Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
!safety precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in
the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
Be Aware of
Signal Words
A Signal word designates a degree or level of hazard seriousness. The signal words are:
! DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
! WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
! CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
For Your Protection
▲Thoroughly read and understand the “Safety Label” section, read all instructions noted on them.

Important Safety Information
Land Pride
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲Slow moving tractors, selfpropelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night.
▲Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Use lights and devices provided with implement.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲Comply with state and local laws.
▲Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrain require a slower speed.
▲Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
▲Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline:
20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.
10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.
Use A Safety Chain
▲A safety chain will help control drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
▲Use a chain with the strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machinery.
▲Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment, refer to Operator’s Manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean dry area.
▲Lower the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool completely.
▲Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
▲Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition & installed properly.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation.
