Safety
WARNING!
The
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and
extra safety precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message
that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention
are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.
SAFETY AT ALL TIMES
Careful operation is your best assurance against
an accident. All operators, no matter how much
experience they may have, should carefully read
this manual and other related manuals, or have the
manuals read to them, before operating the tow
vehicle and this implement.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHILDREN
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children generally are attracted to implements and
their work.
