Behlen 80110640YEL - Manual (Page 4)

Never place any part of your body
where it would be in danger, if
movement should occur during
assembly, installation, operation,
maintenance, repairing, removal or
moving the Landscape Rake.
Never place yourself between the
tractor and Landscape Rake while
implement is in operation. When
removing, or adjusting equipment, be
sure your body is never under the
implement.
A heavy load can cause instability of the
tractor. Use extreme care during travel.
Slow down on turns and watch out for
bumps. The tractor may need front
counter-weights to counter-balance the
weight of the Landscape Rake.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs
which can hinder alertness or
coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about
operating this implement while taking
prescription and some over-the-counter
medications.
DO NOT ALLOW RIDERS on the
Landscape Rake or tractor at any time.
There is NO safe place for any riders.
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO
OPERATE OR BE AROUND BLADE.
Before you operate the Landscape
Rake, check over all pins, bolts and
connections to be sure all are securely
in place. Replace any damaged or worn
parts immediately.
Consult local utility companies to make
certain there are no buried gas lines,
electrical cables, etc., in the work area
before beginning operation.
Do NOT allow anyone who is not
familiar with the safety rules and
operation instructions to use this
Landscape Rake.
Never replace any bolt with any length
other than what is specified in this
manual. A longer, or protruding fastener
is more likely to grab loose clothing or
gloves which can result in serious injury
or death.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain
during operation.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a
low speed and at a gradual steering angle.
Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor's
weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe
steering. Slow down on rough or uneven
surfaces, and loose gravel.
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten all bolts to proper torque.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted and in good operating condition.
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 be
responsible for the use of unapproved parts
and/or accessories and the damages that
can result in their use.
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the
rear when working with equipment. DO NOT
operate close to ditches or creeks. Be careful
to avoid catching implement on stumps or
other immovable objects.
Make adjustments to implement only when it
is attached to a tractor and blocked up.
Always keep all persons and children away
from area when performing adjustments,
service or maintenance. Worn edges can
seriously affect the Landscape Rake's
operation. Check for wear before each use
and replace as necessary.
Know your controls and how to stop your
tractor, engine, and implement quickly in an
emergency.
Do not operate the Landscape Rake
without checking that all movable parts
are in good working order. Always use
care when operating implement.
