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.

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.

Keep young children away from machinery at
all times.

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.

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.
