Asafeandcareful operatoristhebestoperator. Safetyisofprimary importanceto themanufac-
turer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of
yourequipment,yoursurroundings,and observingcertainprecautions. The firstsectionof this
manual includes a list of Safety Messages that, if followed, will help protect the operator and
bystandersfrom injuryordeath. Read andunderstandthese SafetyMessagesbefore assem-
bling,operating or servicing thisimplement. Thisequipment should only beoperatedby those
personswho have read theManual,who are responsible andtrained, and who knowhowto do
sosafely andresponsibly.
TheSafetyAlertSymbolcombinedwithaSignalWord,asseenbelow,isused throughout this
manual and on decals which are attached to the equipment. The Safety Alert Symbol means:
“ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!” The Symbol and Signal
Word are intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of
possible injury faced when operating this equipment..
CAUTION! The lowest level of Safety Message; warns of possible injury. Decals
located on the Equipment with this Signal Word are Black and Yellow.
WARNING! Serious injury or possible death! Decals are Black and Orange.
DANGER! Imminent death/critical injury. Decals are Red and White. (SG-1)
Practice all usual and customary safe working precautions and
above all---remember safety is up to YOU. Only YOU can prevent
serious injury or death from unsafe practices.
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety
Messages. Serious injury or death may occur unless care is
taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the Safety

Operator Safety Instructions and Practices
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. (S3PT-10)

SAFETY
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMA-
NENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement
attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing
loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the
noisein the Operator’sposition exceeds 80db. Noiseover 85db over
an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise
over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time
will cause permanent or total hearing loss. Note: Hearing loss from
loud noise [from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such
sourcesclose to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of
natural recovery. (SG-I7)
WARNING! Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturers instruc-
tions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical
agent. (SG-22)
DANGER! KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement
andpossible serious injury or death. (SG-24)
DANGER! NeverallowchildrentoplayonoraroundTractororImplement. Children
can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can
causethe Implementtoshiftor fallcrushingthemselvesor others. (SG-25)
DANGER! NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the
Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Imple-
ment,an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must
consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medi-
cation that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely.
NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their
alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the
operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)

DANGER! Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13)
DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are expensive and their presence could present a hazard.
Do not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams
from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue
damage including gangrene. Tocheckfor ahoseleak,SHUTthe
tractor ENGINE OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure.
Wearoil impenetrable gloves,safetyglasses and use Card-
board to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you suspect a
leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If
oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
DANGER! Never run the tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate
ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.
(SG-23)
WARNING! Donotexceedthe rated PTO speed for theImplement. ExcessivePTO
speeds can cause Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in
serious injury or death. (SG-26)
DANGER! OperatetheTractorand/orImplementcontrolsonlywhileproperlyseated

Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices
WARNING! Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor.
Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual
steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to
the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the
front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-
over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of
steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury.
Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious
damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator
or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
WARNING! Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
EquipmentusetheTractorflashingwarninglightsandfollowalllocaltraffic
regulations.(SG-6)
WARNING! Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can
resultfromoperating this equipment atunsafe speeds. Understand the
TractorandImplementandhowit handles before transporting on streets
and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good
conditionandoperateproperly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the safe
transportspeedsfor you and theequipment. Make sure you abide by
thefollowingrules:
1. Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.
Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping
characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases.
Determine the maximum safe transport speed for you and this
Equipment.
2. Test the equipment at aslowspeedinturns. Increasethespeed
throughtheturn onlyafteryoudeterminethatitis safetooperate
at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed
whenturningsharply to prevent thetractor and implement from
turningover.Determine the maximumsafeturningspeedfor you
andthis equipmentbeforeoperatingonroads orunevenground.
3. Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that
youhave determinedare safe and which allow you to properly
controltheequipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with
weakorfaultybrakes. Whenoperatingdownahilloronwetorrainslick
roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce
yourspeed. Whenoperating in traffic alwaysuse the Tractor’s flashing
warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)
WARNING! Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while
turning. ImplementscarriedbehindtheTractorwillswingoutsidethe
tire path when making turns. Contacting a solid object while turning
will cause equipment damage and possible injury. (S3PT-20)

Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices
DANGER! Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
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)
WARNING! Always maintain the safety decals in good readable condition. If the
