or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-

6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules

can result in serious injury or death.

 If you do not understand any part of this manual

and need assistance, see your dealer.

 Operators must be instructed in and be capable

of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-

ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to

operate this equipment without proper instruc-

tions.

 Never allow children or untrained persons to

operate equipment.

PREPARATION

 Check that all hardware is properly installed.

Always tighten to torque chart specifications

unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing

to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear

(Safety Rules continued on next page)

Safety is a primary concern in the design and

manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our

efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped

out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of

equipment, hazard control and accident preven-

tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-

cern, judgement, and proper training of

personnel involved in the operation, transport,

maintenance, and storage of equipment.

It has been said, “The best safety device is an

informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be

that kind of operator.

SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

OWNER SERVICE

The information in this section is written for operators

who possess basic mechanical skills. Should you need

hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or

movement of control levers can cause equipment

to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe

injury or death.

• Service work does not require going under-

neath implement.

tions or have service performed by a qualified

dealer.

 Before dismounting power unit or performing

any service or maintenance, follow these steps:

disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point

hitch and all raised components to the ground,

operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-

sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,

and unfasten seat belt.

 Keep all persons away from operator control

area while performing adjustments, service, or

maintenance.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing

to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear

sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective

equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;

and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
