carrying wheels or adequate stands on center frame. (S3PT-6)
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Implement as in all power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER!
This machine is often operated in rough terrain conditions that include tall
grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and the like.
Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the
safety of the operator and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area.
(S3PT-7)
WARNING!
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO
has been turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60
seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor
turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased. (3PT-10)
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
DANGER!
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the tractor.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual
steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is
on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces. (STI-1)
DANGER!
When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised
and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use
extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement
could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting
in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement may overturn. (STI-2)
DANGER!
DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death. (STI-3)
WARNING!
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make
sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample
clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use
extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.

DANGER!
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
is installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any
shield if it is damaged or missing. (S3PT-8)
WARNING!
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work. (S3PT-9)
