SAFETY FIRST!
Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of
equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. 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
observing the following precautions. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions
and insist that those working with you, or for you, follow them.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER, or instruction safety decal that is not readable or
missing.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator
should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s
operations.
Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this
manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety precautions and of how
it works.
To prevent injury, use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System (ROPS). Do not
paint over, remove, or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your equipment. Observe all
safety signs and practice the instructions on them.
Never exceed the limits of the transport cart or the harrows. If their ability to do a job, or to do so
safely, is in question -
DO NOT TRY IT .
Lighting and Marking
It is the responsibility of the customer to know the lighting and marking requirements of the local
highway authorities and to install and maintain the equipment to provide compliance with the
regulations. Add extra lights when transporting at night or during periods of limited visibility.
Lighting kits are available from your dealer.
