NOTE
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the implement decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
• Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the implement.
See Figure 1-3.
• Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
• Keep these signs clean so they can be observed
readily. It is important to keep these decals cleaned
more frequently than the implement. Wash with soap
and water or a cleaning solution as required.
• Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also,
be sure that any new implement components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to
them by the manufacturer.
• When applying decals to the implement, be sure to
clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue.
Where possible, sign placement should protect the
sign from abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud,
dirt, oil etc.

Transporting Safety
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
• When transporting the implement on a road or
highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflectors,
lights and slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow
moving tractors and towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult
to see, especially at night.
• Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing
vehicle.
• Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the road.
• Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not
allow adequate control of steering and stopping.
Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
• Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of
the implement may cause the operator to lose control
of the tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the
implement.
• Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the implement
to shift sideways.
• Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know the transport
height and width of your implement. See
“Specifications” on page 5-1.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution may
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or
damage product.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the tractor or
implement. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the implement.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from implement during
operation.
