Page 9 

Mandako Agri Marketing (2010) Ltd.

2.1 SAFETY ORIENTATION

You are responsible for the SAFE operation and 

maintenance of your Mandako Reddi-Arm. Ensure that 

you and anyone else who will use, maintain or work 

around the Reddi-Arm be familiar with the Safety, 

Operating and Maintenance procedures in this manual.

This manual will take you step-by-step through your 

working day and alert you to all good safety practices that 

should be used while operating the Reddi-Arm.

Remember, you are the key to safety. Good safety 

practices not only protect you but also the people around 

you. Make these practices a working part of your safety 

program. Be certain that everyone using this equipment 

follows all safety precautions, as well as the detailed 

operating and maintenance procedures.

Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or 

death by ignoring good safety practices:

• 

Reddi-Arm owners must give operating instructions to 

operators or employees before allowing them to 

operate the machine, and review annually thereafter.

•  The most important safety device on this equipment 

is a SAFE operator. It is the operator’s responsibility 

to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating 

instructions in the manual and to follow them. Most 

accidents can be avoided.

• 

A person who has not read and understood all 

operating and safety instructions is not qualified to 

use the machine. An untrained operator exposes 

himself and bystanders to the possibility of serious 

injury or death.

• 

Do not modify the equipment in any way. 

Unauthorized modification may impair the function 

and/or safety and could affect the life of the 

equipment.

•  Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!

2.2 GENERAL SAFETY 

•  Read and understand the Operator’s 

Manual and all safety signs before using, 

maintaining, adjusting or cleaning the 

Reddi-Arm.

•  Have a first-aid kit available for use should 

the need arise and know how to use it.

•  Have a fire extinguisher available for use should the 

need arise and know how to use it.

• 

Do not allow riders.

•  Wear appropriate protective gear. This list includes 

but is not limited to:

-  Hard hat

-  Protective shoes

  with slip resistant soles

-  Protective glasses, goggles

  or face shield

-  Heavy gloves

-  Hearing Protection

•  Install and secure all guards before starting.

•  Wear suitable ear protection for prolonged 

exposure to excessive noise.

• 

Lower machine to ground, place all controls in 

neutral, set park brake, stop engine, remove ignition 

key and wait for all moving parts to stop before 

servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.

•  Clear the area of people, especially small children, 

before operating the unit.

• 

Review safety related items annually with all 

personnel who will be operating or maintaining the 

Reddi-Arm.
