Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.
Prepare for Emergencies
1.
Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy.
2.
Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance,
hospital, and fire department near the phone.
Tire Safety
1.
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools
and equipment.
2.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to
one side, not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use
a safety cage if available.
3.
When removing and installing wheels use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for the weight
involved.
Safety Chain
1.
Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater
than the gross weight of towed machinery, which is
10,100 pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE
S338.2 specifications. If two or more implements are
pulled in tandem, a larger chain may be required.
Chain capacity must be greater then the TOTAL
weight of all towed implements.
2.
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
3.
Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in
the chain to permit turning. The distance from hitch
pin to attachment point or intermediate support point
should not exceed 9 inches.
4.
Replace the chain if any links or end fittings are
broken, stretched or damaged.
5.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.
