DURING OPERATION
Beware of bystanders,
particularly children
! Always look around to make sure that it is
safe to start the engine of the towing vehicle or move the unit. This is particularly
important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting.
NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED
- Do not carry passengers anywhere on, or in, the tractor
or equipment, except as required for operation.
Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.
Do not clean, lubricate or adjust your Bale Wagon while it is running.
Be especially observant of the operating area and terrain - watch for holes, rocks or other
hidden hazards. Always inspect the area prior to operation.
Do not
operate on steep slopes as overturn may result.
Operate
up and down (not across) intermediate slopes. Avoid sudden starts and stops.
Pick the most even possible route when transporting across fields. Avoid the edges of
ditches or gullies and steep hillsides.
Be extra careful when working on inclines.
Periodically clear the equipment of hay, feed, twine or other materials to prevent buildup of
dry combustible materials.
Maneuver the tractor or towing vehicle at safe speeds.
Avoid overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with overhead lines could cause serious
injury or death.
Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes; they can be dangerous for equipment operation or
movement. Allow for unit length when making turns.
Do not walk or work under raised components or attachments unless securely positioned
and blocked.
Keep all bystanders, pets and livestock clear of the work area.
Operate the towing vehicle from the operator’s seat only.
Never stand alongside of the unit with engine running. Never attempt to start engine and/or
operate machine while standing alongside of unit.
