Operating and Assembly Instructions
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 TerraTine™ 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 Terra-Tine™ 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
operator to ride on the tractor.
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.

unattended with the engine running.

11. Detach and store implements in an area
where children normally do not play. Stabilize
implements by using suitable supports and
block the wheels.

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.
