Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices
Secure the Implement for transport before traveling on public roads. For pull-type
Implements, secure the center axle using cylinder stops or transport pin and properly attach
a safety chain between the Implement and Tractor. Secure wings in upright position on
folding Implements using wing transport locks.
(STI-7)
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working
around overhead obstructions and electrical power lines. The
Implement wing can be over 10 feet high. Never allow the Implement
wing to come within 10 feet of any power line.
(STI-8)
Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before
driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your
operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly
see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to
maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or
even death.
(STI-10)
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields
are installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any
shield if it is damaged or missing.
(S3PT-8)
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work.
(S3PT-09)
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on
the Implement. Never work on the Implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and
running. Rotating Parts, Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause
immediate entanglement, injury or death.
(S3PT-11)
Keep fingers clear of adjusting holes. A sudden movement could cause injury or even
amputate fingers. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
(SBL-3)
Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.
