Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home, or on the highway, have
causes stemming from the failure of individuals to follow simple and fundamental safety rules
and precautions. For this reason, people can prevent most accidents by recognizing their real,
potential causes and rectifying these causes before they ever allow accidents to occur.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type of equipment, there are
many conditions that we cannot completely safeguard against without interfering with reasonable
accessibility and efficient operation.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN ACCIDENT. THE
COMPLETE OBSERVANCE OF ONE SIMPLE RULE WOULD PREVENT THOUSANDS OF
SERIOUS INJURIES EACH YEAR.
THAT RULE IS:
NEVER CLEAN, OIL, OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IT IS UNDER POWER.

before operating hydraulics.
Relieve hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses or
