For your safety you must not operate, service, inspect or otherwise handle this equipment
unless you have read the Owner’s Manual and have been properly trained in its intended
usage.

-
ply hoses (relieve hydraulic pressure) from tractor to prevent accidental startup or unex-
pected movement before working on machine.

injury. Never investigate for hydraulic leaks by using a part of the body to feel for escaping
fluid.
