2. VERIFY all safety devices and shields are in place before using machine.
3. KEEP hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
4. STOP engine, place all controls in neutral, set parking brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving
parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, maintaining or unplugging.
5. BE CAREFUL when working around high pressure hydraulic system.
6. DO NOT ALLOW RIDERS.
7. ALWAYS, make sure that pressure is relieved from hydraulic circuits before servicing or disconnecting from
tractor.
SAFETY DURING TRANSPORT
1. ONLY TOW at a safe speed. Use caution when making corners and meeting trafc.
2. USE transport lock and safety chain between tractor drawbar and rockpicker hitch when transporting on
public roads.
3. If rockpicker is towed on public roadways, hydraulically swing hitch so rockpicker trails directly behind tow-
ing vehicle. Install Transport Lock (8R7890) to prevent cylinder from retracting. The optional solid hitch can
be reversed so rockpicker trails directly behind towing vehicle.
4. COMPLY with local lighting, marking and oversize regulations when transporting on highways.
