SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who
recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation.The operator should be a
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-
sons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.
Only use a power unit equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation, removal, or
moving the implement.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Never place yourself between the tractor and implement while implement is in operation.
Do not work under a raised implement unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend on the
tractor hydraulic system to hold the implement in place.
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. The tractor may need front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the
implement.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Do not allow others to ride on the tractor with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being struck by

allow anyone to ride on the implement!
Before you operate the implement, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders fifty feet (50’) from
an operating power unit and attached equipment. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.
It is recommended the tractor be equipped with a Rollover Protection System (ROPS) and a seat belt that is
used. Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and lower loader and
attachment to the ground before dismounting.Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running.
