Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.
Always be sure the implement is in the fully raised and locked position when in transport.
Pull from drawbar only. Failure to hitch properly could cause tractor or ATV to flip over, resulting in serious injury
or death.
Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be careful when changing
directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question –
DON’T TRY IT.
Avoid excessive speed during operation.
Make adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor or ATV.
Always ease the tractor or ATV into the load. It may be necessary to reposition and take less “bite” on the
material to move it safely.
Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e., buried pipes, rocks, concrete piers, uneven concrete slabs,
stumps, etc., when operating landscape rakes, box scrapers, or other ground engaging implements.
Never operate tractor and implement under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off the
tractor and then run over by the implement.
Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and
when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up” tractor and implement.
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough terrain.
Always angle down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes. Slow down on sharp turns
and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control.
Always shut off power unit and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving tractor or ATV. Always lower imple-
ment to ground. Remove key when leaving tractor or ATV unattended.
Before operating equipment: if you have any questions regarding the proper assembly or operation, contact
your dealer or representative.

Following operation, or when unhooking, stop the tractor or ATV, set the brakes, shut off the engine and remove
the ignition keys.
Store the unit in an area away from human activity. Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to live-
stock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock injury could result.

Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.
If blocking is used, make sure it is solid and secure before leaving area.
Always tie operator’s end of rope to towing vehicle. Do not let rope drag on ground. Trim off excess rope length.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement
parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications. The manufacturer will not claim respon-
sibility for use of unapproved parts and/or accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability
for injury or warranty.
Know your controls and how to stop tractor or ATV, engine, and implement quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with your tractor or ATV.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Be certain the tractor or ATV is in neutral or park position before starting engine.
Always ease the tractor or ATV into the load.
Be careful to avoid catching the implement on stumps or other immovable objects.
Use extra care when working on slopes.
