2.3 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the
main concerns in the design and development of
equipment. However, every year many accidents
occur, which could have been avoided, by a few
seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling equipment.
• You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by
following the precautions in this section. Insist that
those working with you, or for you, follow them also.
•
In order to provide a better view, certain
photographs or illustrations in this manual
may show an assembly with a safety shield
removed. Equipment should never be used
in this condition. Keep all shields in place.
If shield removal becomes necessary for
repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
• Replace any safety or instructional signs that are
missing or illegible. The location of these safety signs
are indicated in this manual.
•
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can
hinder alertness or coordination while using this
equipment. Consult your doctor about using this
machine while taking prescription medications.
• Under no circumstances should young children be
allowed to work with this equipment.
• The operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person. They should be
familiar with machinery and trained in this
equipment’s operations.
•
If the elderly are assisting with work, their physical
limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
•
If the tow vehicle is a tractor, it should be
equipped with a Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt.
• Never exceed the limits of the Reddi Arm if its ability
to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question - DON’T
TRY IT.
•
Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and life of the equipment, and may result in serious
injury or death.
