• Find a spacious, clear, and level surface
to perform any maintenance or adjust-
ments.
• Never work around running machinery.
• Never remove obstructions from machin-
ery while still running.
• DO NOT walk under the tool assembly
when the tools are elevated.
• DO NOT ride on harrow frame.

the risk of personal injury.
• Regularly check the condition of the U-
Bolts and bearing assemblies. Replace
any suspect parts to prevent accidents.

2.2 SAFETY DURING TRANSPORT

A) General

• Use the safety pins provided for securing

the wings and the tail during transport.
• Check that local road regulations are
adhered to when moving your harrow on
public roads. Refer to Specifications
section for dimensions and weight of
harrow. Extremity Lighting (Wing)
• Never transport the harrow over 80 km/
hour (50 miles/hour).

6

• Familiarize yourself with proper servicing

procedures shown in this manual.
• When servicing, wear protective cloth-
ing and use personal safety devices
when required.

B) Tire Safety

• A tire that explodes could cause serious

injury. Have a qualified service techni-
cian service the tires.
• When inflating tires take extreme care.
An over inflated tire can explode.

use.

NOTE: Be sure to disconnect the lighting

harness when disconnecting the harrow
from the tractor.

2.3 SAFETY DURING SERVICING

A) General

• Never, under any conditions, service har-

row while tractor is running. Shut off
tractor, set parking brake and remove
key first.
• Engage the wing and/or tail locks or
lower the wings, flipovers and/or tail com-
pletely before servicing. See Harrow
Safety Locks.
• Take extreme caution around escaping
hydraulic fluid. Release all pressure in
the system before servicing or inspecting
leaking lines. Hydraulic fluid under high
pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury. Never use your
hands to inspect lines. Seek immediate
medical attention if fluid is injected into
the skin.

section lock. These locks are to be used at
all times when transporting the harrow. In
addition, the harrow comes equipped with a
safety chain which is also to be used in
transport at all times.

These photos show the location of the safety

devices on the harrow:

Hitch Height Adjustment

In some conditions, especially in loose

straw, it may appear that the harrow is
missing a thin strip of ground in the middle
where the tool sections overlap. Normally
this is misleading. The rotary action of the
harrow pulls material and debris slightly
away from the center of the machine and
moves it outwards. The strip has been
worked but may not contain as much trash
as the areas beside it.
