General Safety
Whilst great care and every effort have been
made by Gason to provide a machine to the
highest possible safety standards, tillage imple-
ments by their nature are potentially danger-
ous.
Read and understand this manual and the man-
ual of the tractor towing the implement. Know
your machine and its limits and operate within
them. If in doubt, ASK!
Be Prepared
In the event of an emergency it is best to be
prepared. Gason recommend whilst operating
the Implement, a fire extinguisher and first aid
kit should be readily available in the event that
they might be required.
Safety Decals
All Gason Tillage Implements are provided with
a complete set of decals which include im-
portant safety information and are required to
ensure the machine complies with the relevant
work safe regulations. Every effort should be
made to ensure the decals are legible at all
times. Any decal which can be seen to be worn
or can no longer be read should be replaced.
For a detailed list of Decals and their positions
on the machines refer to the Parts section of
this manual.
