more frequently than the machine. Wash with soap
and water or a cleaning solution as required.

sure that any new machine components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to
them by the manufacturer.
• When applying decals to the machine, be sure to
clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from

Transporting Safety
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
• When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
• Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing
vehicle.
• Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the road.
• Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not
allow adequate control of steering and stopping.
Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
• Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine.
• Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
may cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or

• Keep Riders Off of Machinery
Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or
machine. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the machine.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
