SAFETY FIRST
“A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident”
(National Safety Council)
Most accidents can be prevented if the operator:
•
Fully understands how the machine functions
•
Can anticipate situations which may produce problems
•
Can make necessary corrections before problems develop
THIS SYMBOL MEANS
ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The American Society of Agricultural Engineers has adopted the Universal Safety Alert Symbol as a way to identify areas
of potential danger if the equipment is not operated correctly. Please be alert whenever you see this symbol in the
manuals or on your harvester.
Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. strives to make our equipment as safe as possible. The Art’s-Way 6812A Sugar Beet
Harvester conforms to applicable safety standards at the time of manufacturing. A safety conscious equipment operator
makes an effective accident-prevention program complete.
Safety features and instructions for the harvester are detailed in the Safety Guidelines section of this Operator’s Manual. It
is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all operators read and understand the manual before they are allowed to
operate the beet harvester.
