INTENDED USE
Most accidents occur as the result of failure to
follow basic and fundamental safety rules and
precautions. Recognizing potential safety
hazards, following correct and safe operating
procedures described in this manual, and
complying with safety warnings located
throughout the machine and attachment may
reduce the risk of accidents.
There is no way to completely eliminate the
potential for danger when operating agricultural
equipment. Therefore, you must study this
operator’s manual and understand how to operate
the attachment controls for safe operation before
using the attachment. Likewise, never let anyone
operate the attachment without proper
instruction.
Do not operate the attachment for anything
other than its intended use. Hagie Manufacturing
Company shall not be liable for any damage,
injury, or death associated with improper use of
the attachment.
Do not make any modifications such as, but
not limited to, weldments, add-ons, adaptations,
or changes from the original design of the
attachment. Such modifications may become
safety hazards to you and others and
will void all
warranties.
Replace missing, faded, or damaged safety
signs. Refer to “Safety Decals” elsewhere in this
section for correct sign and placement.
