before leaving operator’s seat.

Look For The Safety Alert Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a 
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra 
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this 
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that 
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of 
equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention are 
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and 
proper training of personnel involved in the operation, 
transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

Safety Precautions for 
Children

Tragedy can occur if the operator 
is not alert to the presence of 
children, Children generally are 
attracted to implements and their 
work.

Never assume children will remain 
where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the work area 
and under the watchful eye of a 
responsible adult.

Be alert and shut the implement 
and tractor down if children enter 
the work area.

Never carry children on the tractor 
or implement. There is not a safe 
place for them to ride. They may 
fall off and be run over or interfere 
with the control of the power 
machine.

Never allow children to operate the 
power machine, even under adult 
supervision.

Never allow children to play on the 
power machine or implement.

Use extra caution when backing 
up. Before the tractor starts to 
move, look down and behind to 
make sure the area is clear.

Safety at All Times

Careful operation is you best 
insurance against an accident. 

All operators, no matter how much 
experience they may have, should 
carefully read this manual and 
other related manuals before 
operating the power machine and 
this implement. 

It is the owner’s obligation to 
instruct all operators in safe 
operation.

Thoroughly read and understand 
the “Safety Label” section, read all 
instructions noted on them.

Do not operate the equipment 
while under the influence of drugs 
or alcohol as they impair the ability 
to safely and properly operate the 
equipment.

The operator should be familiar 
with all functions of the tractor and 
attached implement, and be able 
to handle emergencies quickly.

Make sure all guards and shields 
are in place and secured before 
operating implement.

Keep all bystanders away from 
equipment and work area. 

Start tractor from the driver’s seat 
with hydraulic controls in neutral.

Operate tractor and controls from 
the driver’s seat only.

Never dismount from a moving 
tractor or leave tractor unattended 
with engine running.

Do not allow anyone to stand 
between tractor and implement 
while backing up to implement.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing 
away from power-driven parts.

While transporting and operating 
equipment, watch out for objects 
overhead and along side such as 
fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc. 

Do not turn tractor so tight as to 
cause hitched implement to ride 
up on the tractor’s rear wheel.

Store implement in an area where 
children normally do not play.

Be Aware of 
Signal Words

A Signal word designates a degree or 
level of hazard seriousness. The 
signal words are:

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if 
not avoided, will result in death or 
serious injury. This signal word is to be 
limited to the most extreme situations.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if 
not avoided, could result in death or 
serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if 
not avoided, may result in minor or 
moderate injury.
