SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide
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, judgement, 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
understands the manual(s) pertaining to this machine.
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.
Make sure that the header is fastened securely to the transport before moving.
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service, and operate this
machine. Know the positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check
all controls in a safe area before starting you work.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make
certain your machine has the proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling off equipment and being run over. Do not
permit persons to ride on this machine.
Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes
and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before moving the machine. NEVER position yourself under or
near header when mounting on header transport.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate the header transport until all power is shut off.
Make sure that the header transport is fastened securely to the tractor by using a high strength hitch pin, clip
and safety chains.
Before unhooking the header transport from the towing unit, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the
transport from moving.
Be certain all lights are working properly BEFORE highway travel.
Use only 2-5/16” Ball Hitch to transport unit.
