DURING OPERATION
• Children should never be allowed on the equipment.
• Never carry riders or allow children to operate equipment.
• Clear the area of small children and bystanders before moving the equipment.
• Securely attach equipment to towing unit by means of three point hitch or by using a two
inch coupler ball attached to the tow unit hitch. Attach safety chains if required. Shift towing
unit to a lower gear before going down steep downgrades, thus using the engine as a
retarding force. Keep towing vehicle in gear at all times. Slow down for corners and rough
terrain.
• Make sure you are in compliance with all local and state regulations regarding transporting
equipment on public roads and highways. The Power Grazer Trailer is an off-road farm
implement designed for use as temporary electric fence to control livestock. Lights and slow
moving signs must be clean and visible by overtaking or oncoming traffic when implement is
transported.
• SAFETY CHAIN - If equipment is going to be transported on a public highway, a safety
chain should be obtained and installed. Always follow state and local regulations regarding
a safety chain and auxiliary lighting when towing farm equipment on a public highway.

N:\S_Wp\Setups\Normal\Normal.dot
• Be sure to check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations.
Only a safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic tow strap) should be used to retain the
connection between the towing and towed machines in the event of separation of the
primary attaching system.
Trailer Towing
The Power Grazer Trailer can be towed by a pull vehicle with a 2 in ball coupler or by
three point hitch. Always secure safety chains to pull vehicle.
!
• Install the safety chain by crossing the chains under the tongue and secure to the draw
bar cage or hitch or bumper frame.
• Beware of bystanders, particularly children! Always look around to make sure that it is
safe to start the engine of the towing vehicle or move the unit. This is particularly
important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting.

/Users/helix/MediaMorphosis/_RangeWard/Documentation/Manuals/Power Grazer Trailer Manual v9.docx 13
N:\S_Wp\Setups\Normal\Normal.dot
• Be especially observant of the operating area and terrain - watch for holes, rocks or
other hidden hazards. Always inspect the area prior to operation.
− DO NOT operate near the edge of drop-offs or banks.
− DO NOT operate on steep slopes as overturn may result.
− Operate up and down (not across) intermediate slopes. Avoid sudden starts and stops.
HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
Adopt safe driving practices:
− Keep the brake pedals latched together at all times. NEVER USE INDEPENDENT
BRAKING WITH MACHINE IN TOW AS LOSS OF CONTROL AND/OR UPSET OF
UNIT CAN RESULT.
− Always drive at a safe speed relative to local conditions and ensure that your speed is
low enough for an emergency stop to be safe and secure. Keep speed to a minimum.
− Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of overturning.
− Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes.
− Always keep the tractor or towing vehicle in gear to provide engine braking when going
downhill. Do not coast.
− Do not drink and drive!
• Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm
machinery on public roads.
• Use approved accessory lighting flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators
of other vehicles on the highway during daylight and nighttime transport. Various safety
lights and devices are available from your dealer.

/Users/helix/MediaMorphosis/_RangeWard/Documentation/Manuals/Power Grazer Trailer Manual v9.docx 14
N:\S_Wp\Setups\Normal\Normal.dot
• The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities
prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking
requirements.
• When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 40 kph (20 mph) at
night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV)
identification emblem.
• Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
• Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including
narrow bridges, intersections, etc.
• Be observant of bridge loading ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than the gross
weight as which you are operating.
• Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side while transporting.
• Always operate equipment in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make
allowances for increased length and weight of the equipment when making turns, stopping
the unit, etc.
• Pick the levelest possible route when transporting across fields. Avoid the edges of ditches
or gullies and steep hillsides.
• Be extra careful when working on inclines.
• Maneuver the tractor or towing vehicle at safe speeds.
• Avoid overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with overhead lines could cause serious
injury or death.
• Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes; they can be dangerous for equipment operation or
movement.
• Allow for unit length when making turns.
• Operate the towing vehicle from the operator’s seat only.
• Never stand alongside of unit with engine running or attempt to start engine and/or operate
machine while standing alongside of unit.
• Never leave running equipment attachments unattended.

N:\S_Wp\Setups\Normal\Normal.dot
• As a precaution, always recheck the hardware on equipment following every 100 hours of
operation. Correct all problems. Follow the maintenance safety procedures.
Lighting Kit
• A lighting kit has not been provided with the Power Grazer Trailer. If the State or Province
in your jurisdiction requires lighting for this off road farm implement, Rangeward suggests
the following light kit be purchased from your local supplier and attached to the trailer when
being towed on roads.
ATV Operation When used as a pull vehicle for the Power Grazer Trailer
To safely operate a utility type vehicle, the operator must use similar safe work habits as used
with tractors, skid steer loaders, and ATVs. A safe, successful driver should become familiar
with the machine before using it. This can be done by reading the owner's manual and
following safety labels found on the vehicle. A qualified operator (sales person) can also
demonstrate the correct operation.
Here are additional safety practices to follow when driving a UTV:
• Keep legs and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
• Drive slowly and turn smoothly to avoid an overturn.
Proper lighting on agricultural field
equipment is required in some
jurisdictions. Under proposed
national standards, all towable
agricultural field equipment will be
required to have proper warning
lights to operate on public roads
and highways.

/Users/helix/MediaMorphosis/_RangeWard/Documentation/Manuals/Power Grazer Trailer Manual v9.docx 16
N:\S_Wp\Setups\Normal\Normal.dot
• When hauling cargo the vehicle's center of gravity is raised, increasing the chance of
overturning.
• Drive completely up or down a slope or hill before making a turn. Do not turn the vehicle
in mid-slope or hill as this increases the probability of overturning.
• Use the appropriate speed on rough terrain.
• Operators and passengers have been thrown from vehicles.
• Stay clear of ditches and embankments.
• Passengers must be tall enough to reach handhold while their backs are against the
seat and their feet are flat on the floorboards.
• Each passenger must ride in his/her own seat, not anywhere else on the UTV.
• Operators must back up carefully. Look especially for children before backing.
• Operators should be free from the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Due to the hauling purpose of a UTV, special attention should be paid to making sure
cargo or material is properly secured during transport.
• Since UTVs are often used to tow implements, it is important to follow safety
practices when towing a load. When towing a load, make sure the cargo box is
loaded to assume good traction for driving and stopping. Be sure to tow load at a
speed slow enough to maintain control. Remember, the stopping distance
increases with speed and weight of a towed load. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for weight limits for towed equipment.
• The safety practices, listed above, are recommendations of how to safely operate a
UTV. As with all machinery, use the UTV as designed. Utility vehicles are tools, not
toys and following the recommended safety practices will help ensure an enjoyable
experience for both driver and passenger
Additional Note for ROVs
ROVs are the recreational variant of Side-by-Sides. The same operational instructions and
safety rules apply in a general sense. But since recreational use may occur at higher speeds
and on more challenging terrain than utility use, the operator must be especially cautious and
operate the vehicle at speeds appropriate for the terrain, use extra care in turning and crossing
hills, avoid stunt-riding, and never operate under the influence of alcohol. Recreational use
requires operators and passengers to wear a helmet and other protective gear, use the seat
belts, and keep all parts of their bodies inside the ROV. A number of crashes, rollovers, injuries,
and fatalities have occurred because ROV drivers have violated these common sense rules and
driven aggressively.

FOLLOWING OPERATION
• Following operation, or when unhitching, stop the tractor or towing vehicle, set the brakes,
disengage the PTO and all power drives, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
• Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.
• Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.
• Wheel chocks may be needed to prevent unit from rolling.

N:\S_Wp\Setups\Normal\Normal.dot
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
• Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life of any implement. With careful
inspection and routine maintenance, costly downtime and repairs can be avoided.
• Some parts and assemblies can be quite heavy. Before attempting to unfasten any part or
assembly, arrange to support it by means of a hoist, by blocking or by use of an adequate
arrangement to keep it from falling, tipping, swinging or moving in any manner which may
hurt somebody or damage the equipment.
• Always use lifting equipment that is adequately rated to do the job. Never lift equipment
over people.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a
closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
• Before working on the equipment, stop the towing vehicle, set the brakes, disengage the
PTO and all power drives, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
