Work Safely - Follow These Rules!
-A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident-
Warning: Read this operation manual carefully and understand the controls before
handling any equipment or commencing work.
Before and during operation the area should be checked to assure that the area is clear
of obstacles, hazards and personnel.
Caution should be exercised when operating close to ditches, fences or on hill sides.
Do not operate this machine on a steep gradient
Wear protective safety clothing: safety footwear, ear protectors, gloves, goggles, etc.
Hands, feet, clothing and other objects must be kept away from all moving parts.
Use extreme care when making adjustments.
Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.
Before starting work, visually check machines for damage or wear to working parts.
Do not allow any unauthorized person to handle machines at any time.
Warning: Gasoline/Petrol is highly flammable
No riders other than the tractor operator. Never allow anyone to ride on the aerator.
Before and during operation, the area should be checked to assure the absence of any
obstacles, hazards, as well as idle personnel.
WARNING: The tines are sharp. Do not attempt to remove obstructions while the
aerator is in motion.
Know where and how deep any gas, water, and electrical lines are on site.
Drive at a reasonable speed. This will allow the operator to maintain complete control
of the tractor and implement at all times. Do not exceed 15 m.p.h (24 k.p.h)
Do not over-ballast the weight box, resulting in the loss of front steering and jeopardize
the tractors stability. In extreme cases front counter balancing may be required.
When not in use the BA-600 Super-Ject three point hitch model attachment should have
all the legs extended down and the safety pins engaged. This prevents the aerator from
tipping over when detached from the tractor and damaging the machine or its tines.
When working under or around the tines, the frame must be supported by the legs
provided and/or the trailing kit.
Prior to lowering and unhitching the aerator, lower jack legs and insert jack safety pins.
Remove all tools, parts and maintenance equipment from the weight tray after servicing
Always place the aerator in the “Transport Position” when moving extended distances.
The tractor used for the proper transportation of the unit should be equal in size and
horsepower to the tractor used for field operations.
Aerator transporters are not intended for highway operation.
