FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH. READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TEDDER.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from the machine’s power take-off (PTO) shaft and any
other moving parts until the machine has been shut down and the power source has been
locked out.
Do not adjust, unclog, lubricate, or service the tedder until it has been shut down.
Support the tedder securely while working under it.
Be certain all bystanders and animals are a safe distance away before folding or unfolding
the tedder.
Never allow anyone to ride on the tractor or the tedder.
When transporting, never exceed a speed of 20 MPH and avoid sudden turns.
Be constantly aware of the ends of the machine to avoid collision with other objects.
When transporting the machine on public roads use the proper reectors, lights, and slow
moving vehicle signs required by local government agencies. Frontier will not be liable for any
trafc violations.
Be sure to check all fasteners before and after every use, this is especially important when
the tedder is new but is a good practice on any machinery with high vibration levels.
Be careful around hydraulic hoses and ttings. Never go near hydraulic leaks. High pressure
leaks can puncture skin and cause serious injury or death!
Power Source Safety
Do not use a PTO shaft without a rotating shield in good working order. Make sure drive sys-
tem safety shields are in place on both the tractor and the tedder.
Do not overextend the PTO shaft
PTO shield chains must be attached to the tractor and/or the tedder to keep the shield from
rotating.
