to determine if he or she can safely operate a
machine and the equipment.
Understand the written instructions, rules and
regulations:
• The written instructions from Farm King include
the Warranty Registration, Dealer Inspection
Report, Operator And Parts Manual and decals.
• Check the rules and regulations at your location.
The rules may include an employer’s work
safety requirements. Regulations may apply
to local driving requirements or use of a Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem. Regulations
may identify a hazard such as a utility line.
Have training with actual operation:
• Operator training must consist of a
demonstration and verbal instruction. This
training is given by the machine owner prior to
operation.
• New operators must start in an area without
bystanders and use all the controls until the
machine can be safely operated under all work
area conditions. Always fasten seat belt before
operating.
Know the work conditions:
• Clear working area of all bystanders, especially
small children and all obstacles that might be
hooked or snagged, causing injury or damage.
• Know the location of any overhead or
underground power lines. Call local utilities
and have all underground power lines marked
prior to operation.
• Wear tight fitting clothing. Always wear safety
glasses when doing maintenance or service.
