HighRisk Factors on Farms
Thefollowing factors may increase risk of injury orillness for farm workers:
•Age – Injury rates are highest among childrenage 15 and under and adults over 65.
•Equipment and Machinery – Most farm accidents andfatalities involve machinery. Proper machine guarding and doingequipment maintenance
accordingto manufacturers’ recommendations can help prevent accidents.
•Protective Equipment – Using protective equipment, such asseat belts on tractors, and personal protective equipment(such as safety gloves,
coveralls, boots, hats, aprons, goggles, face shields) could signicantly reduce farming injuries.
•Take precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation causedby unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos,or hoppers. Never “walk the grain.”
• Be aware that methane gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulde can form in unventilated grain silos and manure pits and can suffocate
orpoison workers or explode.
•Take advantage of safety equipment, such as bypassstarter covers, power take-off master shields, and slow-movingvehicle emblems.
•Medical Care – Hospitals and emergency medical careare typically not readily accessible in rural areasnear farms.

SAFE TRANSPORT
• Engage transport locking devices prior to transport.
• Plan your route to avoid trac. Yield to trac in all situations.
• Maximum transport speed is 20 mph (32 kph). Various conditions will require reduced
speed. Travel at speeds that allow for adequate control of stopping and steering.
AVOID ELECTROCUTION. Be aware of overhead power lines. Contact or close
proximity to power lines can result in injury or death. Use extreme care when operating
implement near power lines.
• Know implement transport height and gross weight. Avoid overhead obstructions not
allowing your transport height. Do not use bridges rated below combined implement
and tractor weight.
• Make sure a slow moving vehicle (SMV) placard is mounted to the implement and is
easily visible to other motorists.
• Make allowances for implement size when transporting. Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and/or rollover. Never use independent braking with implement in
tow as loss of control and/or rollover can result. Reduce speed if towed implement is not
equipped with brakes.
• Do not coast. Always keep tractor or towing device in gear to provide engine braking when
traveling downhill.
• Comply with state and local laws governing implement transport.
WARNING AND SAFETY LIGHTS
• Oversized implements and slow moving vehicles create a hazard when transported on
public roads.
• Make sure all warning, safety lights, and turning signals are working and clean. Use
safety lighting when using public roads day and night. Replace missing or damaged lights
immediately. Comply with state and local laws governing implement safety lighting.
• A safety lighting package, conforming to implement lighting standard ANSI/ASAE S279.12,

SHIPPING CONFIGURATION
The majority of the 1tRIPr®XD is assembled at Orthman Mfg., Inc. The 1tRIPr®XD is assembled in an
appropriate shipping conguration to ensure transport safety and eciency from the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Wing Lock Pin
The 1tRIPr®XD may ship folded or unfolded, depending on congurations. If the toolbar ships unfolded
(shown picture above) it will most likely have the rigid wing lock pins installed. These pins will need to be
removed prior to folding the toolbar. (see pg. 6 - 1)
The 1tRIPr®XD will also come from the factory without the safety lights or the SMV installed, due to the
potential for damage to those items during shipment. These items will also need to be installed prior to
use or transport of the 1tRIPr®XD.
CAUTION! BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WORKING AROUND UNSHIELDED SHARP EDGES. INJURY MAY
RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH SHARP EDGES.
