Important Safety Information

Use Safety

Lights and Devices

Slow moving tractors, selfpropelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night.

Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Use lights and devices provided with implement.

Transport

Machinery Safely

Sudden breaking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.

Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline:

20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.

10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor.

IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.

Practice Safe Maintenance

Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment, refer to Operator’s Manual for additional information.

Work in a clean dry area.

Lower the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before preforming maintenance.

Allow implement to cool completely.

Install all transport locks on raised drill before working underneath, refer to the Operator’s Manual for quantity and location of transport locks.

Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.

Move the opener handle to the “ROAD” position and complete raising the openers to lock them up before working underneath them.

Disk edges are sharp. Be careful when working in this area.

Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before welding on implement.

Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition & installed properly.

Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
