Bystanders can become trapped between the machine and the implement when the operator is backing the machine to connect to an implement, causing personal injury or death. Make sure that the surrounding area is free of any personnel before maneuvering to connect an implement.
Sudden movement of the machine or the three-point hitch while connecting or disconnecting the implement, the implement hydraulics, or the implement electrical components can cause personal injury or death. Always lower the implement to the ground, set the parking brake and stop the engine on the tractor before entering the three-point hitch linkage area to connect the equipment.
