2.5 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety is one of the main concerns in designing and developing
equipment. However, every year many accidents occur that
could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
Avoid hazards by observing the following precautions. Insist
anyone working with you follow them as well.
•
Replace safety or instruction signs (decals) that are not
readable or missing. For locations and explanations, see
.
•
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modifications may affect the integrity of the machine
or the ability of the machine to perform as designed.
Modifications can impair safety or function. They can affect
the life of the equipment and void the warranty.
•
Do not tilt the machine when the engine is on. Tilting the
engine changes the fluid levels, which can cause damage
when the engine is on.
•
Make sure the machine is correctly stationed, adjusted, and
in good operating condition.
•
Keep the machine free of accumulated trash, grease, and
debris to prevent fires.
•
Determine where wood chips will be piled and make sure it
does not interfere with safe operation of the machine.
•
Be aware of overhead hazards (for example; branches,
cables, and electrical wires).
•
Never exceed the limitations of the machine. If its ability to
do the job, or to do it safely is in question–
STOP!
