I. SAFETY/DECALS

TREAD WIDTH

Operating

• Select the widest tread setting to fit between the crop rows.

• Never manually adjust the tread width on the detasseler until the wheels have been properly blocked. Loosen the leg clamp bolts only enough for the leg to slide on the frame.

Outriggers

• Make sure the outriggers are locked down either when folded in or folded out.

General Operation Safety

• Do not adjust the factory engine RPM settings.

• Start the engine from the operator’s seat only. Do not by-pass the safety-start switch.

• Handle starting fluid with care. Keep it away from open flame. Store it with the cap on in a cool place.

• Never run the detasseler engine in a closed building. Proper exhaust ventilation is required.

• If equipped with light sensing depth units, do not look directly into light beam. It emits a very low intensity microwave signal which may cause possible eye damage.

• Keep all shields in place.

• Keep clear of all moving parts and keep others away when operating.

• Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may be blown or drawn into moving parts.

• Never allow walking personnel in the same field as a detasseler.

• Keep a fire extinguisher close at all times.
