GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your Beet Defoliator. Read it carefully.
It furnishes information and instructions that will help
you achieve years of dependable performance. These
instructions have been compiled from extensive eld
experience and engineering data. Some information
may be general in nature due to unknown and varying
operating conditions. However, through experience
and these instructions, you should be able to develop
procedures suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were
current at the time of printing, but due to possible
inline production changes, your machine may vary
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and
change the machines as may be necessary without
notication.
WARNING
Some illustrations in this manual show
the Beet Defoliator with safety shields
removed to provide a better view. The Beet
Defoliator should never be operated with
any safety shielding removed.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left direction. These are determined by standing
behind the equipment facing the direction of forward
travel.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our e󰀨orts
to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and conguration of equipment,
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an informed,
careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of an
operator.
TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read
all attachment and power unit manuals; follow
all safety rules and safety decal information.
(Replacement manuals are available from dealer).
Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can
result in serious injury or death.
If you do not understand any part of this
manual and need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine
and attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be
capable of the safe operation of the equip-
ment, attachments and all controls. Do not allow
anyone to operate this equipment without proper
instructions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts to
check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic
uid under pressure can easily penetrate skin
and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service
personnel know that in the event hydraulic uid
penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed
as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury, or gangrene, serious injury
or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES.
DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is tight and properly
installed. Always tighten to torque chart
specications unless instructed otherwise in
this manual.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic
operation and allows loads or equipment
components to drop unexpectedly. Before
operating or allowing anyone to approach
the equipment, purge any air in the system by
operating all hydraulic functions several times
after connecting equipment, connecting hoses,
or doing any hydraulic maintenance.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, ttings and
valves are in good condition and not leaking
before starting power unit or using equipment.
Check and route hoses carefully to prevent
damage. Hoses must not be twisted, bent
sharply, kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into
contact with any moving parts. Operate moveable
components through full operational range to
check clearances. Replace any damaged hoses
immediately.
Always wear relatively tight and belted
clothing to avoid entanglement in moving
parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes
and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands,
hearing and head; and respirator or lter mask
where appropriate.
Ensure implement is properly attached,
adjusted and in good operating condition.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or
collar slides freely and is seated rmly in tractor
PTO spline groove.
Before starting power unit, check all equip-
ment driveline guards for damage and make sure
they rotate freely on all drivelines. Replace any
damaged guards. If guards do not rotate freely
on drivelines, repair and replace bearings before
operating.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS CAB and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling o󰀨 power unit can result in
death from being run over or crushed. Keep
foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position
at all times.

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
TRANSPORTATION
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS
or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt
securely fastened. Falling o󰀨 power unit can
result in death from being run over or crushed.
Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up”
position at all times.
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.
A minimum 20% of tractor and
equipment weight must be on tractor front
wheels when attachments are in transport
position. Weight may be attained with a loader,
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar
when transporting unit.
Always raise unit and install transport
locks before transporting. Leak down or
failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.
Never exceed 20 MPH during transport.
See the Speed vs. Weight Ratio Table in "Field
Operation, Transporting the Unit" for proper tow
vehicle to machine weight ratios.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain.
Always comply with all state and local
lighting and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or
attachment.
Look down and to the rear and make sure
area is clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed
on slopes and rough terrain.
Do not operate or transport equipment
while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
(Safety Rules continued on next page)
Remove accumulated debris from this
equipment, tractor and engine to avoid re hazard.
Ensure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section
for location.)
Ensure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if
damaged.
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without
this weight, tractor could tip over, causing
personal injury or death. The weight may be
attained with a loader, front wheel weights, ballast
in tires or front tractor weights. When attaining
the minimum 20% weight on the front wheels,
you must not exceed the Roll Over Protection
Structure (ROPS) weight certication. Weigh the
tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.
Make sure hydraulic hoses and cylinders
are fully purged of air before operating. Keep
all persons away and ll the system by raising
and lowering all functions several times. Air
in the system can allow components to fall
unexpectedly.
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
