GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
•
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your
operating procedure for all types of
machinery.
•
Protect yourself.
•
When assembling, operating and servicing
machinery, wear all the protective clothing
and personal safety devices that COULD be
necessary for the job at hand. Don't take
chances.
•
You may need:
o
a hard hat.
o
protective shoes with slip resistant
soles.
o
protective glasses or goggles.
o
heavy gloves.
o
wet weather gear.
o
respirator or filter mask.
o
hearing protection. Be aware that
prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause impairment or loss of
hearing. Wearing a suitable hearing
protective device such as ear muffs
(A) or ear plugs (B) protects against
objectionable or loud noises.
•
Be aware that accidents often happen when
the operator is tired or in a hurry to get
finished. Take the time to consider the
safest way. Never ignore warning signs of
fatigue.
•
Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
•
Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be
sure the extinguisher is properly maintained
and be familiar with its proper use.
•
Wear close-fitting
clothing and cover
long hair. Never wear
dangling items such
as scarves or
bracelets.
•
Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away
from moving parts. Never attempt to clear
obstructions or objects from a machine
while the engine is running.
•
Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate independently of
the shaft and can telescope freely.
•
Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design, or safety requirements.
•
Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the function
and/or safety and affect machine life.
