MOST ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE OF NEGLECT OR CARELESSNESS.

AVOID NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS BY FOLLOWING ALL OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW.

Machinery should be operated only by those who are
responsible and are authorized to do so.

Stop the engine, lower all equipment, lock the brakes,
and remove the ignition key before dismounting from the
tractor.

Never stand between tractor and implement while tractor
is being backed to hitch.

Loose fitting clothing should not be worn, to avoid catch-
ing on various parts.

Detach implement in area where children normally do not
play.

When performing adjustments or maintenance on an
implement, first lower it to the ground or block it securely
at a workable height.

Only a qualified operator should be permitted on tractor
when in operation; no riders allowed.

Make certain everyone is in the clear before starting
tractor or raising or lowering equipment.

Operate the tractor and implement only while seated in
the driver’s seat.

Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements
to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering
control.

A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use
extreme care during road travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. Tractor may need front counter-
weights to counter-balance the weight of the implement.

Reduce speed on hillsides or curves so there is no
danger of tipping.

Avoid driving too close to the edge of ditches or creeks.

Do not transport implement on public roads without
reflectors and slow moving vehicle emblem in daylight
and with approved warning lights at night and other
periods of poor visibility.

Due to the width of some implements, use extra caution
on highways, farm roads, and when approaching gates.

Always be sure the implement is in the proper position for
transport.

Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when
working with the implement.
