machine and the equipment.
Understand the written instructions, rules and
regulations:
• The written instructions from Farm King include the
Warranty Registration, Dealer Inspection Report,
Operator And Parts Manual and machine signs
(decals).
• Check the rules and regulations at your location.

of the work area.
Know the Work Conditions:
• Clear working area of all bystanders, especially small
children and all obstacles that might be hooked or
snagged, causing injury or damage.
• Know the location of any overhead or underground
power lines. Call local utilities and have all
underground power lines marked prior to operation.

is raised. Electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
Machine Requirements And Capabilities
• Stop the machine and engage the parking brake.
Install blocks in front of and behind the rear tires of
the machine. Install blocks underneath and support
the equipment securely before working under raised
equipment.
• Keep bystanders clear of moving parts and the work
area. Keep children away.
• Use increased caution on slopes and near banks and
ditches to prevent overturn.
• Make certain that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem is installed so that it is visible and legible.
When transporting the equipment, use the flashing
warning lights (if equipped) and follow all local
regulations.

FIRE PREVENTION
Maintenance
• The machine and some equipment have components
that are at high temperatures under normal operating
conditions.The primary source of high temperatures
is the engine and exhaust system. The electrical
system, if damaged or incorrectly maintained, can
be a source of arcs or sparks.
• Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be
removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to
accumulate, it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often
to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the
engine compartment is a potential fire hazard.
• All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures
are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking
or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical
components can cause a fire.
Operation
• The Farm King machine must be in good operating
condition before use.
• Check all of the items listed on the service schedule
under the 8 hour column before operation. (See
Maintenance section)
• Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks
or hot components can contact flammable material,
explosive dust or gases.
Fire Extinguishers
• Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits
are located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher
regularly. Obey the recommendations on the
instructions plate.
Electrical
• Check all electrical wiring and connections for
damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight.
Repair or replace any damaged part or wires that
are loose or frayed. Battery gas can explode and
cause serious injury. Do not jump start or charge a
frozen or damaged battery. Keep any open flames or
sparks away from batteries. Do not smoke in battery
charging area.
Hydraulic System
• Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage
and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to
check for leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be
properly routed and have adequate support and
secure clamps. Tighten or replace any parts that
show leakage. Always clean fluid spills. Do not
use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use
commercial nonflammable solvents.
Fueling
• Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No
smoking! Do not refuel a machine near open flames
or sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.
Welding And Grinding
• Always clean the machine and equipment, disconnect
the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the
machine controls before welding. Cover rubber
hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep
a fire extinguisher near the machine when welding.
• Have good ventilation when grinding or welding
painted parts.Wear dust mask when grinding painted
parts.Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
• Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts
such as hoods, fenders or covers can be flammable
or explosive. Repair such components in a well
ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.
