(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,
and ensure all other controls are disengaged
before starting power unit engine.
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
Use extreme care when working close to fences,
ditches, other obstructions, or on hillsides.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
MAINTENANCE
Before dismounting tractor or performing any
service or maintenance, lower attachment to
ground, turn off engine, set parking brake, operate
valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, and
remove key.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body under-
neath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Never perform service or maintenance with
engine running.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
STORAGE
To help prevent injury caused by a falling imple-
ment, always detach on a hard level surface.
Block equipment securely for storage.
Do not climb or lean on stored equipment.
Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
