SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
2-3
•
Always drive at a reasonable field speed.
•
Never operate the machine on a roadway
with solution in the tank. Additional weight
caused from a full or partially full solution
tank may cause erratic or increased
stopping distance.
•
Do not operate the machine at speeds
exceeding 20 mph (32 km/h) with solution
in the tank. Operating speeds exceeding
20 mph (32 km/h) with a fully loaded tank
may result in tire blow-out or wheel hub
damage and will void the warranty.
•
Ensure the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem and the Speed Indicator Symbol
(SIS) are in place and visible from the rear
of machine when traveling on public
roadways.
•
Pull over to the side of the road before
stopping.
•
Always come to a complete stop before
reversing directions.
•
Ensure the back-up alarm is audible when
operating the machine in reverse.
•
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby at all
times.
•
Keep ALL shields in place.
•
Keep clear of all moving parts and keep
others away while operating (including
the reversible fan).
•
Do not activate the parking brake while
the machine is in motion.
•
Bring machine to a gradual stop to avoid
sudden downward decent.
•
Reduce speed for icy, wet, graveled, or
soft roadway surfaces.
•
Use flashers/hazard warning lights (day
or night) unless prohibited by law.
•
Keep away from overhead power lines.
Serious injury or death may result to you
or others should the machine come into
contact with electrical power lines.
•
Never use starting fluid to assist engine
start-up.
•
If your machine is equipped with ground
speed sensing radar or light sensing
depth units, do NOT look directly into
radar beam, as it emits a very low intensity
microwave signal, which may result in
possible eye damage.
Be Prepared
•
Be prepared for an emergency. Keep a
fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and clean
water in the cab at all times.
•
Service the fire extinguisher regularly.
•
Keep an accurate inventory of supplies in
the first aid kit and dispose of any item(s)
that have expired.
Wear Protective Clothing
•
Do not wear loose fitting clothing that
could get caught in moving parts. Wear
safety equipment that is appropriate for
the job.
•
Do not store chemical-soaked clothing in
the cab. Clean off as much mud and dirt
from your shoes as you can before
entering the cab.
Protect Against Noise
•
Wear suitable hearing protection.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise may
result in loss of hearing.
