CAUTION
Never allow anyone to ride on the 7450 VT Plus at
any time. Allowing a person to ride on the
machine can inflict serious personal injury or
death to that person.
Disc blades are extremely sharp. Exercise
extreme care when working on or near disc
blades. Do not allow discs to roll over or fall onto
any bodily part. Do not allow wrenches to slip
when working near disc blades. Never push
wrenches toward disc blades. Do not climb over
machine above disc blades. Failure to stay clear
of disc blade edges can cause serious personal
injury or death.
All hydraulically elevated equipment must have
cylinder lockouts installed or be lowered to the
ground, when servicing or when equipment is
idle. Failure to take preventive measures against
accidental lowering can result in serious
personal injury.
Always lock the tractor drawbar in the center
position when transporting the unit. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death and cause
damage to the equipment.
When transporting the unit, place cylinder
lockouts in the transport lock position after fully
extending the cylinders. Insert the lockout pins to
secure the cylinder lockouts. Failure to lockout
the cylinders can cause the unit to settle during
transport, which can result in serious injury or
death and cause damage to the equipment.
When transporting farm implements on public
roads, it is the responsibility of the operator to
abide by state and local laws concerning wide
loads, speed, safety emblems and safety lighting
equipment. Drive at safe speeds. Particularly
when rounding corners, crossing rough ground
or driving on hillsides, to prevent tipping the
tractor.
