WARNING!
DO NOT MODIFY MACHINE OR ATTACHMENTS
Modifications may weaken the integrity of the attachment and may impair the
function, safety, life and performance of the attachment. When making repairs, use
only the manufacturer’s genuine parts, following authorized instructions. Other parts
may be substandard in fit and quality. Never modify any ROPS (Roll Over
Protective Structure) or FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) equipment or
device. Any modifications must be authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
SAFELY MAINTAIN AND REPAIR EQUIPMENT
• Do not wear loose clothing or any accessories that can catch in moving parts. If
you have long hair, cover or secure it so that it does not become entangled in the
equipment.
• Work on a level surface in a well-lit area.
• Use properly grounded electrical outlets and tools.
• Use the correct tools for the job at hand. Make sure they are in good condition for
the task required.
• Wear the protective equipment specified by the tool manufacturer.
SAFELY OPERATE EQUIPMENT
Do not operate equipment until you are completely trained by a qualified
operator in how to use the controls, know its capabilities, dimensions and all
safety requirements. See your machine’s manual for these instructions.
• Keep all step plates, grab bars, pedals, and controls free of dirt, grease, debris
and oil.
• Never allow anyone to be around the equipment when it is operating.
• Do not allow riders on the attachment or the prime mover.
• Do not operate the equipment from anywhere other than the correct operator’s
position.
• Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running, or with this
attachment in a raised position.
• Do not alter or remove any safety feature from the prime mover or this
attachment.
• Know your work site safety rules as well as traffic rules and flow. When in doubt
on any safety issue, contact your supervisor or safety coordinator for an
explanation.
