To avoid serious injury or death:  
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the 

implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up 

to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not 

operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly 

behind the power machine or near the implement.

WARNING

use tiller park stand and when needed, support blocks to 

prevent the tiller from tipping onto a person.

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in 

this manual before dismounting the tractor.
