DURING OPERATION:
Beware of bystanders, particularly children! Always look around to make sure
that it is safe to start the engine of the towing vehicle or move the unit. This is
particularly important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not
hear people shouting.
NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED - Do not carry passengers anywhere on, or in,
the tractor or equipment, except as required for operation.
Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.
Do not clean, lubricate or adjust your mixer/feeder while it is moving.
Be especially observant of the operating area and terrain - watch for holes,
rocks or other hidden hazards. Always inspect the area prior to operation.
Do not operate near the edge of drop-offs or banks.
Do not operate on steep slopes as overturn may result.
Operate up and down (not across) intermediate slopes. Avoid sudden starts
and stops.
Pick the levelest possible route when transporting across fields. Avoid the
edges of ditches or gullies and steep hillsides.
Be extra careful when working on inclines.
Periodically clear the equipment of brush, twigs or other materials to prevent
buildup of dry combustible materials.
Maneuver the tractor or towing vehicle at safe speeds.
Avoid overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with overhead lines could
cause serious injury or death.
Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes; they can be dangerous for equipment operation
or movement. Allow for unit length when making turns.
Do not walk or work under raised components or attachments unless securely
positioned and blocked.
Keep all bystanders, pets and livestock clear of the work area.
Operate the towing vehicle from the operator’s seat only.
Never stand alongside of the unit with engine running. Never attempt to start
