rules can result in serious injury or death.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.

attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its
attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone

instructions.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION

adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
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 an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention
are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance,
and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
