Keep Riders Off Machinery

Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.

Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.

Transport Machinery Safely

Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph (32
kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sud-
den braking can cause a towed load to swerve and
upset.

Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a speed which does

not allow adequate control of steering and stopping.

Comply with state and local laws.
Do not tow an implement that, when loaded for transport,

weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.

Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown

on the road.

Handle Chemicals Properly

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.

Do not use liquid treatments with drill.
Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
Wear protective clothing.
Handle all chemicals with care.
Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
Never drain, rinse or wash dispensers within 100 feet (30m)

of a freshwater source, nor at a car wash.

Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by chemi-

cal manufacturer.

Dispose of empty chemical containers properly. Laws gen-

erally require power rinsing or rinsing three times, followed
by perforation of the container to prevent re-use.

Shutdown and Storage

Lower drill, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove

the key.

Secure drill using blocks.
Detach and store drill in an area where children normally

do not play.
