3.1. SAFETY OVERVIEW
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Ag Shield Recon 300. YOU must
ensure that you and everyone who is going to operate,
maintain or work around the LandRoller be familiar
with the operating and maintenance procedures and
related
SAFETY information contained in this manual.
This manual will take you step-by-step through your
working day and alerts you to all good safety practices
that should be adhered to while operating the
LandRoller.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working part of
your safety program. Be certain that
EVERYONE
operating this equipment is familiar with the
recommended operating and maintenance procedures
and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents
can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by
ignoring good safety practices.
•
LandRoller owners must give operating instruc-
tions to operators or employees before allowing
them to operate the LandRoller, and at least
annually thereafter per OSHA regulation 1928.57.
•
The most important safety device on this
equipment is a
SAFE operator. It is the operator's
responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety
and Operating instructions in the manual and to
follow these. All accidents can be avoided.

A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to
operate the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
