SAFETY - continued
Debris Blower Operation
1. Before leaving the tractor/debris blower
unattended, take all possible precautions.
Park the tractor/debris blower on level
ground, set the parking brake, disengage
debris blower drive, lower the debris blower
to the ground, place all levers including
auxiliary control levers in neutral, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Prior to operation, clear work area of all
objects that can be picked up and thrown.
Mark all curbs, pipes, etc. that cannot be
moved.
3. Be sure the debris blower drive is in OFF
position before starting engine.
4. Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or roads.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. Keep clear of all rotating parts. Do not put
hands or feet under, or into debris blower
with engine running. Be especially
observant of the debris blower areas of
discharge, intake or all other mechanical
motions.

THE TRACTOR
General Information
SAFETY - continued
1. Read the operator's manual carefully before
using tractor. Lack of operating knowledge
can lead to accidents.
Operating the Tractor

building without adequate ventilation, as
the exhaust fumes are very dangerous.
2. Never allow an open flame near the fuel
tank or battery.
3. Make sure the shield is installed when
using a PTO-driven equipment and always
replace the shield if damaged.
4. Always bring the tractor to a complete stop,
shut off the engine, lower the implement to
the ground and remove the ignition key
before leaving the tractor.
5. Never park the tractor on a steep slope.
6. Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes.
2. Do not allow anyone but the operator to ride
on the tractor. There is no safe place for
extra riders
14. A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels
when attachments are in transport position.
Without this weight, tractor could tip over,
causing personal injury or death. The
weight may be attained with a loader, front
wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and
equipment. Do not estimate.
15. Always make sure all debris blower
components are properly installed and
securely fastened BEFORE operation.
7. Use of tire chains for better traction and
stability is recommended.

SAFETY - continued
During Operation
1. Do not allow passengers on the
tractor/equipment at any time. There is no
safe place for passengers on this
equipment. The operator MUST sit in the
tractor seat.
2. Eye and hearing protection is
recommended when operating the
equipment.
3. Operate only during daylight hours, or when
the area is well lit with bright artificial light.
4. Park the tractor/ equipment on level ground,
place the transmission in neutral, set the
parking brake, disengage the PTO, lower
the equipment to the ground, place all
control levers in neutral, shut off the engine
and remove the ignition key BEFORE
leaving the operator’s seat.
5. Inspect the equipment after striking any
foreign object to assure that all equipment
parts are secure and not damaged.
6. Be especially observant of the operating
area and terrain. Watch for holes, rocks, or
other hidden hazards. ALWAYS inspect the
area prior to operating equipment.
7. DO NOT operate equipment near the edge
of drop-offs or banks.
Roll-Over Protective Structure "ROPS"
(If Equipped)
1. DO NOT weld, drill or alter the ROPS.
Damaged ROPS must not be straightened
or used. If damage does occur, consult your
dealer.
2. If the ROPS is lowered or removed from the
tractor for any reason, it must be erected
and/or refitted immediately. Original bolts or
equivalent replacements must be used and
tightened to the correct torque. The
manufacturer does not recommend usage
of tractor with ROPS removed.
4. If a fold-down ROPS is used, the ROPS
can be folded down for storage, but it must
be pinned in the upright position prior to
operation.
5. Seat belt usage: With ROPS installed on
the tractor it is imperative that the seat belt
be installed, used and correctly adjusted, at
all times. DO NOT use a seat belt if
operating without ROPS.
Additional Safety Equipment
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be
kept readily accessible.
8. DO NOT operate equipment on steep
slopes as overturn may result.
9. Operate up and down (not across)
intermediate slopes. Avoid sudden starts
and stops.
10. Drive tractor backwards up steeper slopes
with equipment off. Then operate as you
travel down the slope.
11. Slow down before you change directions on
any slope.
12. Make sure the tractor is counterweighted as
recommended by your dealer. Weights
provide the necessary balance to improve
stability, traction and steering.
13. Never stand alongside of the equipment
while the engine is running.

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY - continued
ALWAYS USE GENUINE PARTS WHEN
REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
1. Keep the tractor and equipment properly
maintained.
2. Park the tractor/ equipment on level ground,
place the transmission in neutral, set the
parking brake, disengage the PTO, lower
the equipment to the ground, place all
control levers in neutral, shut off the engine
and remove the ignition key and allow the
rotating parts to stop BEFORE making any
equipment adjustments.
3. To avoid injury, do not adjust, unblock the
driving system, or service the equipment
with the tractor engine running. Make sure
rotating components have completely
stopped before leaving the operator’s seat.
4. Keep the tractor/ equipment clean. Snow ,
dirt or ice build-up can lead to malfunction
or personal injury from thawing and
refreezing in garage.
5. Always wear eye protection when cleaning
or servicing the equipment.
6. DO NOT service the tractor while the
engine is running or hot, or if the unit is in
motion. Always lower equipment to the
ground. If necessary to service equipment
in raised position, securely support with
stands or suitable blocking before working
underneath. Do not rely on hydraulically
supported devices for your safety. They can
settle suddenly, leak down, or be
accidentally lowered.
7. Do not attempt to service machine, clear
obstructions or unclog the equipment's
driving system with the engine running.
Always shut off engine and allow all motion
to cease.
