WARNING
DANGER
DANGER
NOTE
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on this 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
Figures 1-3 and 1-4.
• 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" in Chapter 5.
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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Safety Instructions for Towing
Vehicles
The maximum travel speed is the lesser of
• The limit of the road conditions;
• The maximum specified ground speed;
— for towing operations as indicated in this manual
or SIS;
— of the towed vehicle as indicated in its operator’s
manual, SIS, or information sign;
• The maximum ground speed of the towed equipment
combination shall be limited to the lowest specified
ground speed of any of the towed machines. This
speed is the ground speed limitation.
EXAMPLE: If the tractor is capable of 25 mph, the first
implement has a SIS for 19 mph, and the last
implement’s operator’s manual states its specified
ground speed is 15 mph, the towed equipment
combination ground speed limitation is 15 mph.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and implement
when attaching or detaching implement unless both
are blocked from moving.
• Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic hoses
are not damaged.
• Completely raise machine and install transport locks. If
desired to store lowered and on unpaved surface,
place hardwood blocks under roller to keep off ground.
• Block implement so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
• Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling
hydraulic hoses from tractor.
• Use a Safety Chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
NOTE
To relieve hydraulic pressure: Depending on tractor
hydraulic system, some can be relieved by actuating
control lever after engine is stopped. If tractor has electric
over hydraulic controls, it may be necessary to move the
control lever to the float position with engine running.
Refer to Tractor’s Operator’s Manual.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Maintenance Safety
• Block the implement so it will not roll when working on
or under it to prevent injury.
• Do not make adjustments or lubricate the machine
while it is in motion.
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
• Keep all guards in place. Replace any that become
damaged.
• Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment.
Air Shock Safety
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with the Air Shock.
• The pressurized Air Shock may violently extend if
disconnected from the machine. Release air pressure
prior to removing.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing & equipment appropriate for
the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Prepare for Emergencies
• Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy.
• Keep emergency numbers for the doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near the phone.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using 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, 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.
Chemical Safety
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil &
property.
• Read chemical manufactures instructions and store or
dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care & avoid inhaling smoke from any
type of chemical fire.
• Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.

SAFETY INFORMATION
TABLE OF CONTENTS
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
• Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
• Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
NOTE
To relieve hydraulic pressure: Depending on tractor
hydraulic system, some can be relieved by actuating
control lever after engine is stopped. If tractor has electric
over hydraulic controls, it may be necessary to move the
control lever to the float position with engine running.
Refer to Tractor Operator’s Manual.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Safety Chain
1. Use the Safety Chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
2. Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater
than the gross weight of towed machinery, in
accordance with ASAE S338.2 specifications. If two
or more machines are pulled in tandem, a larger chain
may be required. Chain capacity must be greater than
the total weight of all towed implements.
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
3. Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Never attach the chain to
an intermediate support. Allow only enough slack in
the chain to permit turning. The distance from Hitch
Pin to attachment point or intermediate support point
should not exceed 9 inches. See Figure 1-2. If the
distance from the Drawbar Pin to either the front or
rear chain attachment point exceeds 9 inches,
intermediate chain support is required. Refer to
Tractor Operator’s Manual
4. Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
5. Do not use a Safety Chain for towing.
