Safety
NOTE
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm
accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
Insist that all people working with you or for you abide by
all safety instructions.
Understanding Safety Statements
You will find various types of safety information on the
following pages and on the implement decals (signs)
attached to the implement. This section explains their
meaning.

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.

High Power Magnet
The Brillion Elite Mini Monitor uses very powerful
Neodymium Magnets. Read all the warnings before
operating the machine.
WARNING
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.
1. Neodymium Magnets are brittle; they can be
broken or can splinter in a collision. One
should wear gloves and protective glasses
when handling these magnets, because
splinters and/or spacers could disengage and
fly from the magnets.
2. Normal Neodymium Magnets will lose their
magnetic properties if heated above 175°F
(80° C).
3. The strong magnetic fields of Neodymium
Magnets can damage items such as
televisions, computer monitors, credit cards,
bank cards, computers, diskettes and other
data carriers, video tapes, mechanical
watches, hearing aides, loud speakers and
VCRs. Pace-Makers may be damaged or
switch to “Test Mode” in the presence of a
strong magnetic force, if a Pace-Maker or
other electrical body implant is in use, Keep a
Minimum of 3 Feet Distance.
4. Children should not be allowed to handle
Neodymium Magnets as they can be
dangerous. Small magnets pose a choking
hazard and should never be swallowed or
inserted into any part of the body.
5. Under no circumstances should you try to cut,
saw or drill the Neodymium Magnet! Not only
would the magnet break, but the resulting
dust from the magnet is very flammable.
Neodymium Magnets should never be burned,
as burning them will create toxic fumes.
