Table of Contents
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲Slow moving tractors,
self-propelled equipment, and
towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public
roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
▲Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.
Use A Safety Chain
▲A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor drawbar.
▲Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the towed
machinery.
▲Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
▲Maximum transport speed for an
attached implement is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
▲As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
an attached implement:
20 mph when weight of attached
implement is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the implement.
10 mph when weight of attached
implement exceeds weight of
machine towing implement but
not more than double the weight.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the machine towing the load.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲Comply with state and local laws.
▲Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity.
▲Secure equipment towed on a
trailer with tie downs and chains.
▲Sudden braking can cause a trailer
to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if trailer is not equipped with
brakes.
▲Avoid contact with any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
▲Engage parking brake when
stopped on an incline.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲Understandprocedure beforedoing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean dry area.
▲Lower attached implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool before
working on it.
▲Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before
welding on implement.
▲Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲Inspect all parts. Make certain
parts are in good condition &
installed properly.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts
from implement before operation.

These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Prepare for Emergencies
▲Be prepared if a fire starts.
▲Keep a first aid kit and fire
extinguisher handy.
▲Keep emergency numbers for
doctor, ambulance, hospital, and
fire department near phone.
Keep Riders Off
Machinery
▲Never carry riders or use
machinery as a personlift.
▲Riders obstruct operator’s view.
▲Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the
machine.
▲Never allow children to operate
equipment.
Avoid High
Pressure Fluids Hazard
▲Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
▲Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines or performing work
on the system.
▲Make sure all hydraulic fluid
connections are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying
pressure to the system.
▲Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
▲Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems.
▲DO NOT DELAY. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor familiar with
thistypeofinjury immediately.Any
fluid injected into the skin or eyes
must be treated within
a few hours or
gangrene may
result.
911
Tire Safety
▲Tire changing can be dangerous
and should be preformed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
▲When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to
one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
▲When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Handle
Chemicals Properly
▲Protective clothing should be
worn.
▲Handle all chemicals with care.
▲Follow instructions on container
label.
▲Agricultural chemicals can be
dangerous. Improper use can
seriously injure persons, animals,
plants, soil, and property.
▲Inhaling smoke from any type of
chemical fire is a serious health
hazard.
▲Store or dispose of unused
chemicals as specified by the
chemical manufacturer.
Wear
Protective Equipment
▲Wear protective clothing and
equipment appropriate for the job.
Clothing should be snug fitting
without fringes and pull strings to
avoid entanglement with moving
parts.
▲Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause hearing impairment or
hearing loss. Wear suitable
hearing protection such as
earmuffs or earplugs.
▲Operating equipment safely
requires the operator’s full
attention. Avoid wearing radio
headphones while operating
machinery.
