SAFETY RULES & ACCCIDENT PREVENTION
ATTENTION! BE CAREFUL! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and
storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.
•Safety instructions are important! Read all attachments and unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety
decal information. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or death.
•If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance the Department of Agriculture,
Occupational Health & Safety Offices, any Agricultural School or college and your local dealer should be
able to direct you on where you can received appropriate training. No operator however experienced in
farm machinery operation they maybe, should attempt to use any piece of machinery that they have not
been competently trained to use.
•Never lift a load greater than the rated capacity of the implement.
•Never walk or walk under a raised implement, loaded or unloaded.
•Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts
to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid (oil) under pressure can easily penetrate the skin
and will cause serious injury or death.
•Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid (oil) penetrates the skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene,
serious injury or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN
OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
•Know your controls and how to stop quickly in an emergency.
•Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment and all controls. Do
not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instruction.
•Do not allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
•Check that all hardware is tight and properly installed.
•Always wear relatively tight fitted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear heavy-duty,
rough-soled boots and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing and head.
•Ensure implement is properly attached, adjusted and in a good condition so that it can be operate safely.
•Tractors MUST be fitted with Roll Over Protection Structure (ROBS) or ROBS Cap. It is also advisable
that your tractor be fitted with a seatbelt, where fitted it must be worn at all times. Falling from your
tractor can result in death from being run over or crushed. If your tractor is fitted with a folding ROBS,
keep it in the “locked up” position at all times.
•Inspect chains, shackles, deflectors and any wear parts for damage. Replace if damaged.
•Remove any debris that has accumulated on the implement, tractor or engine to avoid fire hazard.
•Ensure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged.
•A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor’s front wheels with implement in
the transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over causing personal injury or death. The
weight maybe attained with a loader, front wheel weights, and ballast in the tires or front tractor weights.
When attaining the minimum 20% weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS max
ballasted mass certificate. Weight the tractor and implement. Do not estimate.
•Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation and avoid any hazards or object that could cause
injury or damage.
•Inspect operating area, remove where possible any stones, branches or foreign objects that may cause injury
or damage. It is very important to always watch for foreign objects in the area you are operating and avoid
any that could cause injury or damage.
