SAFETY
WARNING! Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is
very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue
Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall
suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use
the Tongue Jack for lifting the implement only. Overloading the
Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury
or even death.
(STI-4)
CAUTION! On a fully-assembled unit, do not remove the Wing Retaining Strap
until hoses are attached to the tractor and the Wing Cylinders are
filled with oil. Lower the Wings slowly and carefully. Keep bystand-
ers away during operations.
(STI-5)
DANGER! This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating
or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running
into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other
solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor
to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or
even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
(S3PT-12)
DANGER! Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the tractor.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual
steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is
on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces.
(STI-1)
DANGER! When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised
and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use
extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement
could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting
in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement may overturn.
(STI-2)
DANGER! DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased.
Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death.
