2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1�
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products� Unfortunately,
our efforts to provide safe equipment can
be wiped out by a single careless act of an
operator or bystander�
2� In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment�
3� It has been said, "The best safety feature is
an informed, careful opera-
tor�" We ask you to be that
kind of an operator� It is
the operator's responsibil-
ity to read and understand
ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the
manual and to follow these� Accidents can be
avoided�
4�
Working with unfamiliar equipment can
lead to careless injuries. Read this manu-
al, and the manual for your tractor, before
assembly or operating, to acquaint your-
self with the machines. If this machine is
used by any person other than yourself,
or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to operating:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5�
Know your controls and how to stop tractor,
engine, and machine quickly in an emergency�
read this manual and the one provided with
your tractor�
6� Train all new personnel and review instruc-
tions frequently with existing workers� Be
certain only a properly trained and physically
able person will operate the machinery� A
person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not quali-
fied to operate the machine� An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death� If the elderly
are assisting with farm work, their physical
limitations need to be recognized and accom-
modated�
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1� Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times�
2� replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible�
3� replaced parts that displayed a safety sign

4� Safety signs are available from your author-
ized Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or
