1.0. Safety Measures
RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION
This is the safety alert symbol. When you
see this symbol on your machine or in this
manual, be aware of the potential for
personal injury.
Please observe all safety instructions and
the general accident prevention
regulations.
FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read all safety messages in this
manual and warning signs on your
machine. Keep warning signs in good
condition. Replace missing or damaged
warning signs. Make sure that new
equipment, components and replacement
parts include the current warning signs.
Replacement warning signs are available
from your dealer.
Learn how to operate the machine and
use the controls properly. Do not let
anyone operate without instruction.
Keep your machine in proper working
condition. Unauthorized modifications to
the machine may impair the function
and/or safety and affect machine life.
If you do not understand any part of this
manual and need assistance, contact
your dealer.

available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
1.0. Safety Measures
OBSERVING ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
Always observe local road traffic regulations
when using public roads.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Wear tight-fitting clothing and appropriate
protective equipment when working with the
machine.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device
such as earplugs to protect against
objectionable or uncomfortably loud noises.
Operating equipment safely requires the full
attention of the operator.
Do not wear radio or music headphones
while operating the machine.
GUARD AND SHIELDS
Keep guards and shields in place all the
times. Ensure that they are in good condition
and installed correctly.
Always disengage the drive components, turn
off engine and remove key before removing
any guards or shields.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from
moving parts.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

1.0. Safety Measures
STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING DRIVE SHAFTS
Inattentiveness in the area of rotating drive
shafts can have serious, or even fatal,
consequences.
Keep all drive shaft guards in place at all
times. Make sure rotating shields can turn
freely. Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the
engine and make sure PTO shaft is stopped
before making adjustments, connections, or
cleaning out PTO-driven equipment.
Avoid high-pressure fluids
High-pressure fluids which leak under high
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury.
For this reason, always depressurize the
system before disconnecting lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping from a small leak is
virtually invisible, therefore search for leaks
with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor
immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should check a reliable medical reference.

All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
1.0. Safety Measures
USE SAFETY LIGHTS AND DEVICES
Avoid collisions with other road users. Slow
moving tractors with attachments or towed
equipment and machines are a particular
hazard on public roads. Frequently check for
traffic from the rear, especially in turns, Use
hand signals or turn signal lights for safe
operation in traffic. Use headlights, flashing
warning lights, and turn signals day and
night. Follow local regulations for equipment
lighting and marking. Always keep the safety
devices in good condition. Replace or repair
lighting and marking that has been damaged
or lost. An implement safety lighting kit is
available from your dealer.
AVOIDING HEAT DEVELOPMENT IN
THE AREA OF PRESSURE LINES
Highly flammable liquid mist can be caused
by heat development near pressure lines.
resulting in severe burns to yourself and
bystanders. Do not heat by welding,
soldering, or use a welding torch near
pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials. Pressurized lines can be
accidentally cut if heat goes beyond the
immediate flame area.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
9
1.0. Safety Measures
Remove paint before welding or heating
Welding must be conducted only by persons
with appropriate qualifications.
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when
paint is heated by welding, soldering, or using
a torch.
Do all work outside or in a well ventilated
area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Remove paint before welding or heating:
• If you sand paint, avoid breathing the dust.
Wear an approved respirator.
• If you use solvent or paint stripper, clean
with soap and water before welding.
Remove solvent or paint stripper
containers and other flammable material
from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least
15 minutes before welding or heating.
