These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
Slow moving tractors,
self-propelled 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.
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
performing maintenance.
Allow implement to cool
completely.
Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
Remove buildup of grease, oil or
debris.
Remove all tools and unused
parts from implement before
operation.
Tractors With Cabs or
ROPS
There should be sufficient
clearance for the operator when
mounted to a tractor with a cab or
that is equipped with ROPS.
The ROPS may need to be
extended or flipped around to
obtain sufficient clearance.
Transport
Machinery Safely
Comply with state and local laws.
Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrain require a
slower speed.
Sudden braking 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.
