SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.
Check to ensure all safety signs are installed and in good condition. (See safety sign section for location
drawing.)
Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any deck or platform.
Never replace hex bolts with less than grade five bolts unless otherwise specified, i.e. shear bolts. Refer to
bolt torque chart for head identification marking.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement
parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications. The manufacturer will not claim
responsibility for use of unapproved parts and/or accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability
for injury or warranty.
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this
equipment.
Following operation, or when unhooking, stop the tractor, set the brakes, disengage the PTO, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition keys.
Never unhitch without using the tongue jack. The tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the tongue without
using the tongue jack could cause strains. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result
in crushing injury. Use the tongue jack for lifting the cutter only. Overloading the jack can cause failure with
possible serious bodily injury or even death.
Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock
injury could result.
Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.
Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.
If blocking is used, make sure it is solid and secure before leaving area.
