basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person must also

operation, lubrication, maintenance, or repair procedures that you choose.

you start any job. AGCO dealers have the most current information available.
