 Check for ditches, stumps, holes, or other obstacles that could cause the tractor to roll.

 Be sure tractor tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate tires to proper air pressure.

 All persons should be at least twenty-five feet (25') away during operation. Clear the area of

helpers, bystanders, and especially children.

 Do NOT allow anyone to stand between the hitch and implement.

 It is recommended that only tractors with wide front axles use the plow. Tricycle front wheel

arrangements are inherently unstable and can cause rollover accidents.

 Make sure all safety stickers are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

 Check that all equipment is properly installed and securely attached to the tractor.

Operation

If you have any questions regarding the proper operation of this plow, contact your dealer or the

manufacturer.

1. Set the plow on the ground. Plow about twenty feet, or until you can see what adjustment the

plow needs.

2. Adjust tractor’s top link and rear landslide heel to set the plow frame level end-to-end.

3. The frame should also be level when in the ground for in-furrow operation depending on the

furrow depth.

Front End Ballast

Front end ballast may be required for stability and steering control when weight is transferred to the

back tires as the plow is raised. As a general guide: ballast the tractor (less plow) so that

approximately 1/3 of the tractor weight is on the front tires.

When a mounted plow is raised, the resulting load on the front wheels should be less than 20% of the

tractor’s weight. Add additional ballast as required for stability during operation and transportation.

A heavy load can cause instability in driving a tractor. Make sure the front of the tractor is properly

counterbalanced with weights. The tractor front end ballast may not always maintain the tractor

stability if the tractor is operated on rough terrain at high speeds. In such cases, reduce speed and

exercise caution especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over,

causing injury or death.

It is essential that everyone involved in the operation, transportation, maintenance, and storage of this

equipment be aware, concerned, prudent, and properly trained in safety.

After Each Use

 Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc., from the plow.

 Inspect the plow and replace worn or damaged parts
