SAFETY
SAFETY
Recognize Safety Information
This is a safety-alert symbol. When you
see this symbol on your machine or in this
manual, be alert to the potential for per-
sonal injury.
Follow recommended precautions and
safe operating practices.
Understand Signal Words
A signal word—DANGER, WARNING, or
CAUTION—is used with the safety-alert
symbol. DANGER identifies the most seri-
ous hazards.
DANGER or WARNING safety signs are
located near specific hazards. General
precautions are listed on CAUTION safety
signs. CAUTION also calls attention to
safety messages in this manual.
Follow Safety Instructions
Carefully read all safety messages in this
manual and on your machine safety signs.
Keep safety signs in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety signs.
Be sure new equipment components and
repair parts include the current safety
signs. Replacement safety signs are avail-
able from your FAST dealer.
There can be additional safety information
contained on parts and components
sourced from suppliers that is not repro-
duced in this operator's manual.
Learn how to operate the machine and
how to use controls properly. Do not let
anyone operate without instruction.
Keep your machine in proper working con-
dition. Unauthorized modifications to the
machine may impair the function and/or
safety and affect machine life.
If you do not understand any part of this
manual and need assistance, contact your
FAST dealer.

Prepare for Emergencies
Page 12
SAFETY
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts.
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher
handy.
Keep emergency numbers for poison con-
trol center, doctors, ambulance service,
hospital, and fire department near your
telephone.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wear close fitting clothing and safety
equipment appropriate to the job.
Operating equipment safely requires the
full attention of the operator. Do not wear
radio or music headphones while operat-
ing machine.
Protect Against Noise
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device
such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect
against objectionable or uncomfortable
loud noises.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand service procedure before
doing work. Keep area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine
while it is moving. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing from power-driven parts. Disen-
gage all power and operate controls to
relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the

Support Raised Equipment
Page 13
SAFETY
ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key.
Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements
that must be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and prop-
erly installed. Fix damage immediately.
Replace worn or broken parts. Remove
any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect
battery ground cable (-) before making
adjustments on electrical systems or weld-
ing on machine.
On towed implements, disconnect wiring
harnesses from tractor before servicing
electrical system components or welding
on machine.
Support Raised Equipment
Always use a safety support when working
on, under, or around machine. Transport/
Service locks can be used for this pur-
pose.
Shut off tractor engine and remove key
when working on machine.
If air has been allowed to enter hydraulic
hoses or cylinders, bleed hydraulic system
before use. If there is a failure in hydraulic
system, unsupported raised equipment
could suddenly lower, causing serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If support is not available, completely
lower wings and frame, relieve hydraulic
pressure and disconnect hoses from trac-
tor.
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid
Lines
Flammable spray can be generated by
heating near pressurized fluid lines, result-
ing in severe burns to yourself and
bystanders. Do not heat by welding, sol-
dering, or using a torch near pressurized
fluid lines or other flammable materials.
Pressurized lines can accidentally burst
when heat goes beyond the immediate
flame area.
Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
Inspect hydraulic hoses periodically – at
least once per year – for leakage, kinking,
cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters, corrosion,
exposed wire braid or any other signs of
wear or damage.
Replace worn or damaged hose assem-
blies immediately with FAST approved
replacement parts.
Escaping fluid under pressure can pene-
trate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic or other

Inspect Lift Circuit Hoses
Page 14
SAFETY
lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands and body from high-pres-
sure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor imme-
diately. Any fluid injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result. Doctors
unfamiliar with this type of injury should
reference a knowledgeable medical
source.
Inspect Lift Circuit Hoses
Avoid serious injury or death while working
under a raised implement.
Hydraulic hoses between the lift cylinders
and hydraulic lock-up valves should be
inspected frequently for leakage, kinking,
cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters, corrosion,
exposed wire braid or any other signs of
wear or damage. Worn or damaged hose
assemblies can fail during use and should
be replaced immediately. See your FAST
dealer for replacement hoses.
Store Attachments Safely
Stored attachments such as dual wheels
can fall and cause serious injury or death.
Securely store attachments and imple-
ments to prevent falling. Keep playing chil-
dren and bystanders away from storage
area.
Service Tires Safely
CAUTION: Explosive separation
of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you
have the proper equipment and experi-
ence to perform the job.
