1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Informaon
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate and service your machine correctly. Failure to read
this manual can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
This manual is a permanent part of your machine and should remain with the machine when you sell it.
Measurements in this manual are given in both customary U.S. units and metric equivalents. Use only
correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and inch fasteners require appropriate tools to install.
NOTE: Right- and le-hand sides are determined by facing in the direcon the implement will travel
when moving forward.
1.2 Serial Number
Record the serial number, model number, and model year to help trace the machine in the event that
it is stolen. Your dealer also needs these numbers for all warranty claims and for when you order parts.
The serial number is found on the serial number plate, which is located on the front of the machine as
shown in Figure 1-1.
Record your serial number, model number, and model year in the space provided below.

2.0 SAFETY
2.1 Recognizing Safety Informaon in Manual
Figure 2-1 is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your
machine or in this manual, be alert to the potenal for personal injury.
Follow recommended precauons and safe operang pracces.
2.2 General Safety
You are responsible for the safe operaon and maintenance of your Amity implement. You and anyone
else who will operate, maintain, or work around the machine should be familiar with the operang and
maintenance procedures and safety informaon in this manual.
Safety pracces protect you and the people around you, so make them a working part of your safety
program.
Equipment owners must give operang instrucons annually to operators or employees before
allowing them to operate the machine, per OSHA regulaon 1928.57.
The most important element of safety for this equipment is a safe operator. It is the operator’s
responsibility to read and follow all safety and operang instrucons in the manual. All accidents can
be avoided.
A person who has not read and understood all operang and safety instrucons is not qualied to
operate the machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to serious injury or death.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modicaon may impair the funcon or safety,
or both, and could alter the life and warranty of the product.
The following list is a set of safety guidelines to adhere to:
1. Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before operang, maintaining, or
adjusng the machine.
2. Install and properly secure all shields and guards before operang.
3. Have a rst-aid kit available and know how to use it.
4. Have a re exnguisher available and know how to use it.
5. Clear the area of people and remove foreign objects from the machine before starng and
operang.
6. Shi to park, disengage PTO, lower machine to ground, relieve hydraulic pressure, stop engine,
remove ignion key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusng, repairing, or
disconnecng.
Figure 2-1: Safety-Alert Symbol

2-2
7. Annually review safety guidelines with all operators.
8. Wear suitable ear protecon for prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.3 Maintenance and Operang Safety
1. Read and understand all informaon contained in the Operator’s Manual regarding maintenance,
adjustment, and operaon of the machine.
2. Shi to park, disengage PTO, lower machine to ground, relieve hydraulic pressure, stop engine,
remove ignion key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusng, repairing, or
disconnecng the machine.
3. Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from all moving and/or rotang parts.
4. Ensure that all tractor controls are in neutral before starng.
5. Never wear ill-ng, baggy, or frayed clothing when working on or around the machine.
6. Make sure that all guards and shields are properly installed and secured before operang the
machine.
7. Clear the area of all bystanders, especially children, when carrying out any maintenance or making
adjustments on the systems or components.
8. Place stands or blocks under the frame before working beneath the machine.
9. Do not allow riders on the implement or tractor during eld operaon or transport.
10. Never operate the machine inside a closed building.
11. Stay away from overhead obstrucons and power lines during setup and operaon. Electrocuon
can occur without direct contact.

2-3
2.4 Hydraulic Safety
1. Always place all tractor hydraulic controls in neutral before dismounng.
2. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condion and are clean
and ght.
3. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, aened or crimped hoses and metal lines.
4. Do not aempt any makeshi repairs to the hydraulic lines, ngs, or hoses by using tape,
clamps, or cements. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure. Such repairs
may fail suddenly, creang a hazardous and unsafe condion.
5. Wear proper hand and eye protecon when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a
piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and idenfy a leak.
6. If injured by a concentrated high pressure stream of hydraulic uid, seek medical aenon
immediately. Serious infecon or toxic reacon can develop from hydraulic uid piercing the
skin’s surface.
7. Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all components are ght and that lines, hoses,
and couplings are not damaged.
8. On self-contained hydraulic systems, make sure that shut o valves are in open posion before
engaging PTO.
2.5 Transport Safety
1. Read and understand all informaon in the Operator’s Manual regarding procedures and safety
when operang the machine in the eld or on the road.
2. Make sure the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem and required lights and reectors are in place,
clean, and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming trac.
3. Do not allow riders on any part of the machine during either eld operaon or travel.
4. Aach the machine to the tractor using only a drawbar pin with provisions for a mechanical
retainer.
5. Always aach a safety chain.
6. Always use hazard warning ashers when transporng unless prohibited by law.
7. Always move all parts of the machine to transport posion when travelling on a road.
8. Stay away from overhead obstrucons, such as power lines.
9. For max transport speed on smooth roads, see secon 3.3.

2-4
2.6 Safety Decals
The types of decals on the equipment are shown in the illustraon below. Proper safety requires that
you familiarize yourself with the various safety decals, the type of warning, and the area, or parcular
funcon related to that area, that requires your safety awareness.
REMEMBER: If safety decals have been damaged or removed, become illegible, or parts are replaced
without decals, then new decals must be applied. New decals are available from your authorized
