Safety Information
The safety symbol indicates a potential safety
hazard to persons operating or near the
machine and advises on how to avoid it.
The notice symbol indicates a potential for
machine or property damage from operator
error and advises on how to avoid misuse.
The information symbol indicates useful - but
not crucial - information for machine
operation, assembly, or adjustment.
Before Getting Started
1. Read this manual in its entirety before attempting
to start and operate the machine.
2. Only use operators that are thoroughly trained by
the owner or trained by someone with the
owner’s consent. The operator must be familiar
with all functions of the tractor and attachments,
and be able to handle emergencies quickly.
3. Maintain attention on operation at all times. Do
not operate if using a smart phone, tablet, or
similar electronic device, and never operate
machine while impaired by alcohol, medication,
any controlled substance, or while fatigued.
4. Do not ever allow passengers to ride the
machine at any time, for any reason.
5. Before operation, make sure that all tractor cab
levers are in their neutral positions and that the
parking brake is engaged.
6. Check brakes, link pins, and other mechanical
parts for wear b
7. Never wear loose or bulky clothing around
machine. Use additional safety equipment, such
as hard hats, eye and ear protection, safety
boots, etc., as needed.
8. Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized
modification can result in unsafe conditions that
lead to machine damage or personal injury.

Operation
1. Always stop the tractor, put in Park and turn off
engine before leaving the cab.
moving tractor can cause serious injury or death.
2. Consider turning radius of tractor and implement
in the field. Turning tractor too tight can cause
hitched implement to ride up on wheels which can
result in injury or equipment damage.
3. Pull machine only from the hitch at the end of the
tongue. Never pull from jack stand, safety chain,
or any point other than the hitch.
4. Never leave
implement is running. Remove key and turn off
tractor before exiting the tractor cab.
5. Watch your surroundings at all times. Do not
operate with bystanders nearby, and avoid
contacting overhead obstructions.
6. Check that all guards and shields are
undamaged, installed, and secure before
operating implement.
7. Keep children out of the work area. Do not
operate or turn on
the area.
8. Do not operate near ditches, holes, steep slopes,
embankments, or other surfaces which may
collapse under the machine’s weight or tip the

underneath hydraulically supported components
is necessary, secure implement with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
8. Disconnect electronic monitor and lighting
harness from the tractor before
adjusting electrical systems.
9. Before welding, disconnect electronic monitor and
lighting harness from the tractor. Protect hydraulic
lines. Avoid fumes from heated paint.

High Pressure Fluids
1. Escaping fluid from holes in hydraulic lines is
difficult to spot. Do not use your hands or bare
skin to search for suspected leaks; instead, use a
piece of cardboard or wood. If injured by
escaping hydraulic fluid, see a medical
professional immediately. Exposure can result in
gangrene or severe allergic reaction.

1. As with transporting any piece of heavy
machinery, comply with all local laws and
regulations before and during transport process.

3. Before towing implement on roads, make sure to
empty out all material from the hoppers or boxes.
4. Know transport height and width of implement.

weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing
vehicle.
6. Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting.

1. Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or
greater than the gross weight of towed machinery.
2. Replace chain if any links or end fittings are
broken, stretched or damaged.
3. Do not use safety chain for towing.
Safety Lights and Devices
1. Always use safety lighting. Slow-moving tractors
