Operating and Assembly Instructions
Operating and Assembly Instructions
5
Most accidents are the result of negligence and
carelessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to follow simple but necessary safety
precautions. The following safety precautions are
suggested to help prevent such accidents. The
safe operation of any machinery is a big concern
to consumers and manufactures.
Your Yield-Pro® Row Cleaner has been designed
with many built-in safety features. However, no
one should operate this product before carefully
reading this Operators Manual.
General Operation & Repair
Never allow the Yield-Pro® Row Cleaner to be operated by anyone who is unfamiliar with the
operation of all functions of the unit. All operators
should read and thoroughly understand the instructions given in this manual prior to moving the
unit.
1. Make sure safety rules are understood before
operating machinery or tractor.
2. Never permit any persons other than the op-
erator to ride on the tractor.
12. If a hydraulic leak develops, correct it immediately. Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely high pressure. A stream of high pressure oil
may easily penetrate the skin as with modern
needle-less vaccination equipment - but with
the exception that hydraulic fluid may cause
blood poisoning. It is imperative that the connections are tight and that all lines and pipes
are in good condition. If an injury is caused by
the escaping hydraulic fluid, see doctor at
once!
13. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect
leaks of hydraulic oil under pressure.
14. Be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between the
implement and the tractor hydraulic system.
Keep all guards and shields in place.
3. Never permit any persons to ride on or stand
near the drill while it is in operation.
4. Regulate your speed to the field conditions,
maintaining complete control at all times.
5. After repairing or adjusting, make sure all
tools and parts are removed from the implement before attempting to operate it.
6. Do not grease or oil machine while it is in operation.
7. Loose fitting clothing should not be worn as it
may catch in moving parts.
8. Never dismount from a moving tractor.
9. Do not leave the tractor or the implement unattended with the engine running.
10. Do not stand between the tractor and the implement during hitching.
11. Detach and store implements in an area
where children normally do not play. Stabilize
implements by using suitable supports and
block wheels.
