death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine components which, for functional purposes, cannot be
guarded.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, 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 that, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
GENERAL 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. You, the operator,
can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this section. To avoid
personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for
you, follow them.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not readable
or is missing. Location of such decals is indicated in this booklet.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this
equipment’s operations. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit
until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding
of the safety precautions and of how it works.
To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System
(ROPS). Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your
equipment. Observe all safety signs and practice the instructions on them.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON’T TRY IT.

with the grease hole is to the rear of the post. Secure with 5/8” x 4” bolts. Install long shank
grease fitting.
4. Connect rear frame section to front frame section using 1½” x 6” pins. Lock pins in position
using ½” x 1” NC capscrews.
5. Raise frame and slide moldboard under. Connect moldboard to frame brackets using ¾” x 2
½” bolts, flat washers and lock washers at the bottom. Install the adjustable tilt brackets to the
mold board using the ½” x 2 ½” bolts and lockwashers. Install ½” x 2 ½” bolts into the desired
