DANGER!
ENDMARKERS
SAFETY DURING OPERATION
Stand clear of implement when end marker is
being folded or unfolded. Disc blade on end of
boom swings out fast and covers a large area.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in
death or serious injury.
ALWAYS be certain that no one is behind or around
implement while operating hydraulics.
DO NOT RIDE
on implement during operation.
BE SURE
reflector decals are clearly visible from all sides
of implement and the Slow Moving Vehicle sign is at the
rear of implement in clear view of overtaking traffic. Five
section implements with tow between seeders require
SMV sign on the end of marker boom near disc.
BE AWARE
of overhead electrical lines. Proceed
cautiously under overhead electrical lines and around
utility poles. Electrocution can occur without direct
contact with overhead electrical lines.
ALWAYS
fold endmarkers in before putting implement
into transport.
ALWAYS
have implement in field position before folding
out endmarker.
AVOID
hitting obstacles with endmarker.
