BE SAFE WITH CHEMICALS
Direct exposure to agricultural and hazardous
chemicals can cause serious injury. Potentially
hazardous chemicals used with Aitchison
equipment include such items as lubricants,
coolants, fertilizer, paint and adhesives. If in
doubt, contact your local Aitchison dealer
for information about chemical safety and first aid
procedures.
Keep a fire extinguisher and first aid kit handy
When disposing of chemicals, make sure hoppers are properly washed to get rid of
any chemical residue and that any chemicals are disposed of in an approved manner.
Follow instructions of chemical manufacturers for disposal methods.
USE SAFETY LIGHT AND DEVICES
Slow moving tractors and equipment can create a
hazard when driven on public roads. They are
difficult to see, especially at night. This could
lead to personal injury or death if a collision with a
vehicle occurs.
Whenever driving on public roads, use flashing warning lights. Provide extra lighting
at night on machine and tractor. An implement safety lighting kit is available from
Aitchison Industries.
TRANSPORT SAFELY
Do not exceed transport speed for machine; see your local Aitchison dealer. Never
transport at any speed which does not permit adequate control of steering and
stopping.
Reduce speed over rough ground
For safe transport, tractor must weigh more than machine
.
REDUCE SPEED WHEN TOWING LOADS
Braking to stop towed loads from transport speeds can
cause the towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if towed load weighs more than the tractor and
is not equipped with brakes.
Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse
surface conditions, when turning and on road marking lines.
