SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given. Study
these precautions carefully and insist that they be followed by those working with you and for you.
Finally, remember this: an accident is usually caused by someone’s carelessness, neglect, or oversight.
WARNING
Never clean, lubricate or adjust a machine that is in motion. Always lower or block the implement before
performing service.
If machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally falling
and injuring someone.
Do not allow riders on the tractor or implement.
Use speeds and caution dictated by the terrain being traversed. Do not operate on any slope steep enough
to cause tipping or loss of control.
Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.
Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment
to do the same.
Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in
an emergency.
CAUTION
Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices.
Beware of towed implement width and allow safe clearance.
FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
