Introduction and Safety Information
Introduction
The implement described in this manual has been
designed with care and built by skilled workers using
quality materials and processes. Proper assembly and
maintenance will provide you with satisfactory use for
seasons to come.
Read this entire manual before attempting to
assemble, adjust or operate this implement.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in
personal injury or death, damage
implement or its components and inferior
operation.
Description of Unit
The front rollers of the Brillion Pulvi-Mulcher break up
surface clods. Conventional “C” teeth or “S-Tine” teeth
loosen the soil up to 6” in depth and pull clods to the
surface. The rear roller wheels then crush those clods
and convert the soil into a firmed, mulched seedbed that
locks in moisture at the root level. The result is a
uniformly firmed and tilled seedbed from top to bottom,
but not compacted. The growing environment receives
the full benefit of capillary action of the soil for better
germination, better moisture retention and faster
decomposition of residue.

Owner Assistance
If customer service or repairs are needed, contact your
Brillion dealer. They have trained personnel, parts and
service equipment specially designed for Brillion
products. Your implement’s parts should only be replaced
with Brillion parts. If items covered in this manual are not
understood, contact your local Brillion Dealer.

IMPORTANT
Safety
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm
accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
Insist that all people working with you or for you abide by
all safety instructions.
Understanding Safety Statements
You will find various types of safety information on the
following pages and on the implement decals (signs)
attached to the implement. This section explains their
meaning.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
may
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or
damage product.
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the implement decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the implement. See Figure 1-3.
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.
It is important to keep these decals cleaned more
frequently than the implement. Wash with soap and water
or a cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new implement components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to them
by the manufacturer.
When applying decals to the implement, be sure to clean
the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil etc.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the tractor or
implement. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the implement.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from implement during
operation.
Transporting Safet y
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the implement on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed implements can create a hazard when
driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the road.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
implement may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the implement.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the implement to
shift sideways.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know the transport
height and width of your implement. See Table 5-1 and
Ta bl e 5 - 2.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and implement when
attaching or detaching implement unless both are
blocked from moving.
• Block implement so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
1-2 1K965
INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Chain
Maintenance Safety
• Block the implement so it will not roll when working on
or under it to prevent injury.
• Do not make adjustments or lubricate the machine
while it is in motion.
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
• Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing & equipment appropriate for
the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Chemical Safety
• Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper
use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil
& property.
• Read chemical manufacture’s instructions and store or
dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care & avoid inhaling smoke from any
type of chemical fire.
• Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side, not in
front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if
available.
When removing and installing wheels use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for the weight
involved.
Safety Chain
Use the safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery, which is 10,100
pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE S338.2
specifications. If two or more implements are pulled in
tandem, a larger chain may be required. Chain capacity
must be greater than the TOTAL weight of all towed
implements.
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the
chain to permit turning. The distance from hitch pin to
attachment point or intermediate support point should not
exceed 9 inches. See Figure 1-2.
Replace the chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Prepare for Emergencies
• Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy
• Keep emergency numbers for the doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near the phone.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.

WARNING
DO NOT GO NEAR LEAKS
High pressure oil easily punctures
skin causing serious injury,

If injured, seek emergency medical
help. Immediate surgery is
required to remove oil.
Do not use fingers or skin to
check for leaks.
Lower load or relieve hydraulic
pressure before loosening fittings.

MOVING MACHINES CAN CAUSE INJURY. KEEP AWAY!
1. KEEP AWAY FROM MOVING TRACTORS OR IMPLEMENTS.
KEEP OTHERS AWAY.
2. DO NOT RIDE OR ALLOW OTHERS TO RIDE ON TRACTOR
OR IMPLEMENT.
