2.1 SAFETY ORIENTATION
You are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Mandako REDDI-LYNX. Ensure that
you and anyone else who will use, maintain or work
around the REDDI-LYNX be familiar with the Safety,
Operating and Maintenance procedures in this manual.
This manual will take you step-by-step through your
working day and alerts you to all good safety practices
that should be used while operating the REDDI-LYNX.
Remember, you are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety
program. Be certain that everyone using this equipment
follows all safety precautions, as well as the detailed
operating and maintenance procedures.
Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or
death by ignoring good safety practices:
• REDDI-LYNX owners must give operating instructions
to operators or employees before allowing them to
operate the machine, and review annually thereafter.
• The most important safety device on this equipment
is a SAFE operator. It is the operator’s responsibility
to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating
instructions in the manual and to follow them. Most
accidents can be avoided.
• A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to
use the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to the possibility of serious
injury or death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the
equipment.
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.2 GENERAL SAFETY

Manual and all safety signs before using,
maintaining, adjusting or cleaning the
REDDI-LYNX.
• Have a first-aid kit available for use should
the need arise and know how to use it.
• Have a fire extinguisher available for use should the
need arise and know how to use it.
• Do not allow riders.
• Wear appropriate protective gear. This list includes
but is not limited to:
- Hard hat
- Protective shoes
with slip resistant soles
- Protective glasses, goggles
or face shield
- Heavy gloves
- Hearing Protection
• Install and secure all guards before starting.
• Wear suitable ear protection for prolonged
exposure to excessive noise.
• Lower machine to ground, place all controls in
neutral, set park brake, stop engine, remove ignition
key and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
• Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children, before operating the unit.
• Review safety related items annually with all
personnel who will be operating or maintaining the
REDDI-LYNX.
REDDI-LYNX Operator’s Manual

2.3 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the
main concerns in the design and development of
equipment. However, every year many accidents
occur, which could have been avoided, by a few
seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling equipment.
• You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by
following the precautions in this section. Insist that
those working with you, or for you, follow them also.
• Replace any safety or instructional signs that are
missing or illegible. The location of these safety signs
are indicated in this manual in Section 2.12.
• Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can
hinder alertness or coordination while using this
equipment. Consult your doctor about using this
machine while taking prescription medications.
• Under no circumstances should young children be
allowed to work with this equipment.
• The operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person. They should be
familiar with machinery and trained in this
equipment's operations.
• If the elderly are assisting with work, their physical
limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
• If the tow vehicle is a tractor, it should be
equipped with a Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt.
• Never exceed the limits of the REDDI-LYNX. If its
ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question -
DON'T TRY IT.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and life of the equipment, and may result in serious
injury or death.
2.4 SAFETY DECALS
2:4:1 General Information:
• Keep safety decals clean and legible at all times.
• Replace decals that are missing or have become
illegible.
• Replaced parts that displayed a safety decal should
also display the current sign.
• Safety decals displayed in Section 2.11 each have a
part number located below the sign. Use this part
number when ordering replacements.
• Safety decals are available from your authorized
Distributor or Dealer Parts Department.
NOTE:
Call Mandako directly if you are unfamiliar with who your
local Dealer/Distributor is.
2:4:2 How to Install Safety Decals:
1. Be sure that the installation area is clean, dry and
degreased.
2. Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
3. Determine exact position before you remove the
paper backing. (See Section 2.12)
4. Remove the smallest portion of the split backing.
5. Align the decal over the specified area and carefully
press the small portion with the exposed adhesive in
place.
6. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully
smooth the rest of the decal in place.
7. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and
smoothed out using the piece of the paper backing.

2.5 SAFETY TRAINING
• Safety is a primary concern in the design
and manufacture of our products.
Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator or bystander.
• Accident prevention and identifying hazards are
dependent upon the proper training of personnel.
Their awareness, concern and common sense are
crucial when involved with the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of the equipment.
• Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to
careless injuries. Read this manual to become
acquainted with the machine.
• Whether the machine owner is the operator, loans or
rents it out, it is their responsibility to make certain
that the borrower reads and understands the
operator's manuals.
• Know your controls, how to stop the tow unit, the
engine, and machine quickly in an emergency.
• Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a
properly trained and physically able person will use
the machinery.
• A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to
use the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to the possibility of serious
injury or death.
• If the elderly are assisting with the work, their
physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
2.6 PREPARATION
• Never use the REDDI-LYNX until you have
read this manual and the tow unit’s
Operator's Manual. Take note of each
Safety Message found on the safety decals
on the REDDI-LYNX and the tow vehicle.
• Personal protective equipment including a
hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes and
gloves are recommended during assembly
or installation, operation, adjustment,
maintaining or repairing, cleaning or
moving the unit.
• Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing
or jewelry to be around equipment.
• PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
• Power equipment with or without
equipment attached can often be noisy
enough to cause permanent or partial
hearing loss. We recommend that you
wear hearing protection on a full-time
basis if the noise in the Operator's position
exceeds 80db.
• Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss. Noise over
90db adjacent to the Operator over a
long-term basis may cause permanent,
total hearing loss.
NOTE:
Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain
saws, radios, and other such sources close to the
ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of
natural recovery.
REDDI-LYNX Operator’s Manual
Page 7 Mandako Agri Marketing (2010) Ltd.
• Any tractor used to tow the REDDI-LYNX
must be equipped with an approved
Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS).
Always wear a seat belt. Serious injury or
even death could result from falling off the
tractor. If a roll-over occurs, the operator
could be pinned under the ROPS or inside
the tractor.
• Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden
obstacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing
damage or injury.
• Be sure the machine is properly attached, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
• Ensure that all safety shielding and safety decals are
properly installed and in good condition.
2.7 OPERATING SAFETY
• Read and understand the Operator's
Manual and all safety signs before using.
Review safety instructions annually.
• Lower machine to the ground, place all controls in
neutral, stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition
key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
• Install and secure all guards and shields before
starting or operating.
• Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away
from all moving and/or rotating parts.
• Do not allow riders on the REDDI-LYNX or tow vehicle

3.1 MACHINE COMPONENTS
The Mandako REDDI-LYNX consists of a single roller
drum mounted onto a three-point hitch assembly.

eliminate possible damage to the machine.

side of the hitch attachement for stabilizing the Machine
when not in use.
