• 

Be prepared for a fire, should one 

start. 

• 

Always keep a first aid kit and a fire 

extinguisher handy. 

• 

Keep a list of emergency numbers for 

a doctor, hospitals, fire department, 

and ambulances near or on your 

personal phone.

• 

Never allow riders on the

 

tractor or implement while in use. 

• 

Riders can obstruct the

 

operator’s view and interfere with 

their ability to control the power 

machine. 

• 

Riders can be struck by

 

objects or be thrown from the 

equipment. 

• 

Never use tractor or

 

implements to lift or transport riders. 

• Homestead Implements recommends 

the use of a CAB or a roll-over-

 

protective-structures (ROPS) and 

seat belt in nearly all power  

machines. The combination of a 

CAB, ROPS, and a seat belt will 

reduce the risk of serious injury or 

death if the power machine should be 

upset. 

• 

If ROPS is in the locked position, 

fasten seat belt snugly and securely 

to protect against serious 

injury or death from falling and 

machine overturn. 

BE PREPARED FOR 

EMERGENCIES

KEEP RIDERS OFF 

MACHINERY

SEAT BELTS AND ROPS

• 

Always wear protective

 

equipment and clothing appropriate 

for the job such as safety shoes, 

earplugs, hard hats, and safety 

glasses. 

• 

Clothing should fit snug without 

 

fringes and pull strings. This is to 

avoid dangerous entangling with 

moving parts.

 

• Operating equipment safely requires 

the operator’s full attention. Avoid 

wearing headphones while operating 

and maintaining equipment. 

• Prolonged exposure to 

excessive noise can cause hearing 

impairment and hearing loss. Wear 

suitable hearing protection such as 

earplugs or earmuffs. 

USING PERSONAL 

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 

(PPE)

• Fluid escaping under pressure can 

penetrate the skin and cause serious 

injury. 

• 

Relieve all residual pressure from the 

hydraulic system before  

disconnecting hydraulic lines or  

performing any work on the system 

itself. 

• 

Make sure all hydraulic fluid con

-

nections are tight and all lines are in 

good condition before applying any 

pressure to the system. 

• 

NEVER USE BODY PARTS to check 

for suspected leaks. Always use a 

piece of paper or cardboard instead. 

• 

Wear protective gloves and safety 

glasses before doing any work on 

hydraulic systems. 

• DO NOT DELAY REPORTING AN 

ACCIDENT.

 If an accident occurs, 

see a doctor immediately. Any fluid 

injected into the skin or eyes must be 

treated immediately.

HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID 

 HAZARDS

• DIG SAFE, CALL 811 (USA). 

• Always contact your local utility companies (electrical, telephone, gas, water, 

sewer, and others) before digging or using any implement so that they may mark 

the location of any underground services in the area.

 

• Always ask how close to the marked area you can work.
