2.2     EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES

4

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the 

main concerns in designing and developing a ma-

chine. However, every year many accidents occur 

which could have been avoided by a few seconds of 

thought and a more careful approach to handling 

equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many 

accidents by observing the following precautions 

in this section. To avoid personal injury or death, 

study the following precautions and insist those 

working with you, or for you, follow them.

•  In order to provide a better view, certain 

photographs or illustrations in this manual 

may show an assembly with a safety shield 

removed. However, equipment should 

never

 

be operated in this condition. Keep all shields 

in place. If shield removal becomes necessary 

for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.

•  Replace any safety sign or instruction sign 

that is not readable or is missing. Location of 

such safety signs is indicated in this manual.     

• 

NEVER

 use alcoholic beverages or drugs 

which can hinder alertness or coordination 

while operating this equipment. Consult your 

doctor about operating this machine while 

taking prescription medications.

• 

Under no circumstances should young 

children be allowed to work with this 

equipment. Do not allow persons to 

operate or assemble this unit until they 

have read this manual and have devel-

oped a thorough understanding of the 

safety precautions and of how it works.

 

Review the safety instructions with all users 

annually.

•  This equipment is dangerous to children and 

persons unfamiliar with its operation. The op-

erator should be a responsible, properly trained 

and physically able person familiar with farm 

machinery and trained in this equipment's 

operations. If the elderly are assisting with 

farm work, their physical limitations need to be 

recognized and accommodated.

•  Use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protec-

tive Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt.

• 

NEVER

 exceed the limits of a piece of machin-

ery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is 

in question 

- DON'T TRY IT.

•  Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-

authorized modi

fi

 cation may impair the func-

tion and/or safety and could affect the life of the 

equipment.

In addition to the design and con

fi

 guration of this 

implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equip-

ment, hazard control and accident prevention are 

dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence 

and proper training of personnel involved in the op-

eration, transport, maintenance and storage of the 

machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and operation 

instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the 

tractor and machine manuals. Pay close attention 

to the Safety Signs af

fi

 xed to the tractor and the 

machine.

Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
