ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to pro-
vide safe equipment can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in
the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and un-
derstands the manual(s) pertaining to this machine. Also make certain that the operator(s) reviews and under-
stands the operator’s manual of the grain cart and the tractor.
Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or need
more information, contact the manufacturer or your authorized dealer.
SAFETY
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons are measured by how you service, and operate this
machine.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make cer-
tain your machine has the proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where pos-
sible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. If a ditch must be crossed, do so at an angle. Avoid
sharp turns to maximize the stability of the road. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes and rough, slick
or muddy surfaces. Avoid running over hard objects protruding above the ground surface, if possible. Damage
to the understructure or load may result. If the object is unavoidable, reduce speed.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate track system until all power is shut off. Keep all safety shields in place.
Support equipment and attachments properly when working beneath them. Do not depend on hydraulic cylin-
ders to hold them up. An attachment can fail if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks. Wear protective
glasses when servicing equipment.
