ADDITIONAL SAFETY REMINDERS
USER/OPERATOR SAFETY PRACTICES as established by applicable industry standards are included in this
Operator’s Manual and are intended to promote SAFE OPERATION of the machine.
These guidelines do not preclude the use of good judgment, care and common sense as may be indicated by the particular
job site work conditions.
It is essential that operators be physically and mentally free of mind altering drugs and chemicals, and thoroughly trained
in the safe operation of the machine. Such training should be presented completely to all new operators and should not
be condensed for those claiming previous experience. Information on operator training is available from several sources
including the manufacturer.
Some photographs in this manual may show Doors, Guards and Shields open or removed for illustration purposes ONLY.
BE SURE that all Doors, Guards, and Shields are in their proper operating positions BEFORE starting the Engine to
operate the unit.
The operator MUST know the capabilities and work applications for the machine, and operate it at speeds slow enough
to insure complete control at all times. When working on slopes or near drop offs, use good judgment. ONLY operators
with sufficient experience should attempt such work.
Be alert and avoid loose or soft surface conditions that could cause sudden tipping or loss of control. Avoid side hill
travel wherever possible by driving up or down the slope. In case of slippage on grade, turn the machine
IMMEDIATELY downhill. Keep the blade crossways and lowered for extra stability when scarifying across slopes.
Operating in virgin terrain (called pioneering) is especially dangerous. Be sure you know how this is done. Avoid falling
branches, trees, and up-turning roots, and do not drive onto brush piles, logs, or large rocks.
IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL WHILE OPERATING THIS MACHINE, ANY OF THE ABOVE FACTORS COULD
CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP AND THROW YOU OUT OF THE OPERATOR’S STATION, WHICH MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH!
ALWAYS wear your seat belt!
ALWAYS keep hands, feet, and arms inside of the Operator’s Station when operating the machine!
ALWAYS wear appropriate personal safety gear as called for by the job or working conditions!
ALWAYS be aware of pinch point areas on the machine such as Wheels to Frame, Cylinders to Frame, Moldboard and
Attachment to Frame!
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from electric power lines or buried cables, and avoid any electrically charged
conductor! Contact can result in electrocution. Call your proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE
starting a job!
