REPORTING AN EMERGENCY
Ensure that you have access to a radio or a mobile phone
when operating or repairing farm machinery. Working with
a partner whenever possible significantly increases the
chances of receiving timely emergency care should one
party become severely injured, and/or incapacitated.
MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
For safety reasons, it is important to keep your implements
in proper working order. Unauthorized modifications to
Dawn Equipment Company products may compromise the
efficiency and/or safe operation of the product and will void
any and all warranties through Dawn Equipment Company.
Please read your manual before attempting any repair work
to your Dawn tool. If you need to work on your Dawn tool,
make sure to support it before partially or fully removing
it from the attachment points. Do not adjust your Dawn
tools while they are moving.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Wearing proper attire when working on agricultural equipment
is a critical safety precaution. Loose clothing or accessories
may become entangled in moving parts causing serious injury
or death.
SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY GLASSES/GOGGLES
If you will be using hazardous
chemicals, or are striking, cutting
or grinding metal make sure you
are wearing eye protection.
EARPLUGS / SOUND MUFFLERS
When working around equipment that
generates high amplitude sound (ie
dryers, vacuums, etc.) ear protection
is strongly recommended.
RESPIRATOR MASK
Carefully read all safety
information associated with
any chemicals you will be
handling. Use a respirator
mask when using hazardous
chemicals, (ie Insecticides,
NH3, etc.)
WORK GLOVES
If working around machinery
with sharp edges, or rough metal
surfaces, work gloves may prevent
a few stitches. Work gloves are
inexpensive, and are really worth
the investment.
STEEL-TOED BOOTS
A good pair of steel-toed boots
can safe your toes. Avoid
an unfortunate accident, and
protect your feet.
FIRST AID KIT
In order to minimize the risk of
infection, every shop and tractor
should have a complete first aid
kit.
