Safety

Information

This Box Blade was designed for
one-man operation from the tractor

because of neglect or

carelessness. It is the responsibility
of the operator to see that no one is within
twenty-five feet (25’) of the blade when it is in
operation. Do not operate the implement with
another person near, or in contact with, any part
of the Box Blade. Serious personal injury or
death may result if any attempt is made to assist
operation by hand.

Only properly trained people
should operate this machine.
It is always recommended the
tractor be equipped with a
Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) and a seat belt that is
used. Always stop the PTO,
set break, shut off the tractor engine, remove the
tractor key, and allow implement to come to a
complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never
leave equipment unattended with tractor
running.

to certain hazards which cannot be
protected against by mechanical
means or production design. All

and heed the safety signs on the Box Blade, and
the safety rules set forth herein. Clean or replace
all safety stickers if they can not be clearly read
and understood. They are there for your safety
as well as the safety of others. The safe use of
this machine is strictly up to you, the operator.

All things with moving parts are potentially
hazardous. There is no substitute for a
