Safety
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, and proper training
of the personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper
use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury
or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Safe Operating Practices
Training
•
Read the Operator's Manual and other training material.
If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read English it is
the owner's responsibility to explain this material to them.
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls, and safety signs.
•
All operators and mechanics should be trained. The
owner is responsible for training the users.
•
Never let children or untrained people operate or service
the equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
•
The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other
people or property.
Preparation
•
Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform
the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved
by the manufacturer.
•
Wear appropriate clothing including hard hat, safety
glasses and hearing protection. Long hair, loose clothing
or jewelry may get tangled in moving parts.
•
Inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all objects such as rocks, toys and wire which can
be thrown by the machine.
•
Keep all bystanders away from the operating area.
•
Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,
safety device, or decal is illegible or damaged, repair or
replace it before operation is commenced. Also tighten
any loose nuts, bolts, and screws to ensure that the
machine is in safe operating condition.
•
Check that safety switches and shields are attached and
functioning properly. Do not operate unless they are
functioning properly.
Operation
•
Never operate the debris blower when it is not connected
to a tow vehicle.
•
Be alert, slow down and use caution when making turns.
Look behind and to the side before changing directions.
