tractor with this operator instruction manual.
Have an emergency plan.
Keep all emergency numbers close by; write them into your manual.
Inspect your machine carefully each time before use; this will only take a minute.
Always climb the ladder and check inside the machine before starting or filling it,
to make certain it is empty.
Stop machine when leaving unattended.
Children should never be in the area when your Xcel 1250 is in operation.
Using an Xcel 1250 is a one-man operation therefore there should be no other
person(s) in the vicinity of the machine while in use.
Remember that the first step to avoiding danger is to recognise the hazards.
