Important Safety Information

Look for Safety Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a

potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra

safety precaution must be taken. When you see this

symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that

follows it. In addition to design and configuration of

equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are

dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and

proper training of personnel involved in the operation,

transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Be Aware of Signal Words

Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard

seriousness.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,

typically for machine components that, for functional

purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when

guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against

unsafe practices.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate

injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe

practices.

Use Adequate Lifting Means

The frame sections and gangs of this machine are

extremely heavy. If using multiple lifters, make sure each

is rated for at least its share of the load.

Prepare for Emergencies

Be prepared if a fire starts

Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.

Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital

and fire department near phone.

Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible

decals.

Wear Protective Equipment

Wear protective clothing and equipment.

Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.

Avoid loose-fitting clothing.

Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause

hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable

hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

Because operating equipment safely requires your full

attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while

operating machinery.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,

causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before

disconnecting hydraulic lines.

Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to

check for suspected leaks.

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when

working with hydraulic systems.

If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance

from a physician familiar with this type of injury.

Use Safety Lights and Devices

Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create

a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult

to see, especially at night.

Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever

driving on public roads.

Use lights and devices provided with implement.

Keep Riders Off Machinery

Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be

struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.

Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.

Important Safety Information

12/11/2023 3

Shutdown and Storage

Lower implement, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and

remove the key.

Secure Hydraulic Reel Attachment using blocks and

supports provided.

Detach and store Hydraulic Reel Attachment in an area

where children normally do not play.

Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be

performed by trained personnel using correct tools and

equipment.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension

hose long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front

of or over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling

equipment adequate for weight involved.

Safety At All Times

Thoroughly read and understand the instructions in this

manual before operation. Read all instructions noted on

the safety decals.

Be familiar with all machine functions.

Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.

Do not leave machine unattended with tractor engine

running.

Do not stand between the tractor and machine during

hitching.

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven

parts.

Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with

moving parts.
