BE AWARE OF SAFETY ALERT WORDS
DANGER: Indicates imminently hazardous practices. A situation that, if not avoided, will result in
death or severe injury. The signal word is limited to the most extreme situation, typically for machine
components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or
severe injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards remove. Use warnings to alert
against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that may result in minor or moderate injury if
not avoided. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION
Thoroughly read and understand the “Safety Label” section, read all instructions noted on them.
SHUTDOWN AND STORAGE
• Lower machine to the ground, put the tractor in park, turn off the engine, and remove the
key.
• Detach and store implements in an area where children typically do not play
USE SAFETY LIGHTS AND DEVICES
• Slow-moving tractors, self-propelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They are challenging to see, especially at night.
• Flashing warning lights and we recommend turn signals whenever driving on the public road.
TRANSPORT MACHINERY SAFELY
• Comply with state and local laws
• The maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph, DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
rate that does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrain
requires a slower speed.
• Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if the towed load
is not equipped with brakes.
Use the following maximum speed – tow load weight ratios as a guideline:
• 20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of the tractor.
• 10 mph when weight is double the weight of the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of the tractor.
