EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
zSafety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and
developing a dump trailer. However, every year accidents occur which could have
been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling
equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following
precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
zInorder to providea better view,certainphotographs orillustrationsin thismanualmay

SAFETY TRAINING
zSafety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product.
Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by
a single careless act of an operator or bystander.
zIn 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, trans-
port, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
zIt has been said, “ The best safety device is an informed, careful opera-
tor.” We ask you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s respon-
sibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow them. Accidents can be avoided.
zWorking with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this
manual, and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operating, to
acquaint yourself with the machines. If this machine is used by any person
other than you, or is loaned or rented, it is the dump trailer owner’s re-
sponsibility to make certain that owner's manual be available to the opera-
tor prior to operating:
1- Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2- Is instructed in safe and proper use.
zKnow your controls and how to stop tractor, engine, and the trailer quickly
in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your trac-
tor.
zTrain all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing
workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will
operate the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine.
An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible seri-
ous injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their
physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

11
PREPARTION
zNever operate the tractor and trailer until you have read and completely under-
stand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety mes-
sages found on the safety signs on the tractor and trailer.
zPersonal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes,
and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjust-
ment, maintenance, repairing, removal, or moving the implement. Do not allow
long hair, loose fitting clothing, or jewelry to be around equipment.
zPROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENTHEAR-
ING LOSS! Tractors can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time
basis if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80 db. Noise over 80 db on
a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90 db adjacent to
the operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and
other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope
of natural recovery.
zOperate the trailer only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-
Protective System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury of even
death could result from falling off the tractor — particularly during a turnover
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS or the tractor.
zOperate only in daylight or good artificial light.
zEnsure trailer is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
zEnsure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in
good condition.
TRANSPORT SAFETY
zUse Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem and proper lighting on the tractor
when transporting the trailer. The dump trailer is made for off road use
only! Do not transport on public roads.
zTransport at no more than 20 MPH on best road conditions. Reduce
speed when going up and down hills and when approaching ditches or
corners. Use care when transporting on rough terrain.
zWatch for low hanging power lines during transport, contact can cause
serious injury or death.
zAlways comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.
zKeep your trailer in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications
to the trailer may impair the function, affect trailer life, and put you at risk.
Do not add excessive weight to the trailer. Additional weight could cause
the frame to fail resulting in loss of control of trailer and or tractor during
transport.

12
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
zAlways stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, and remove
the ignition key before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unat-
tended with the tractor running.
zDo not reach or place any part of your body under equipment until it is
blocked securely.
zDo not allow riders on the trailer or tractor at anytime. There is no safe
place for any riders.
zDo not operate unless all personnel, livestock, and pets are several feet
away to prevent injury.
zNever operate tractor and trailer under trees with low hanging limbs. Op-
erators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the tractor or
trailer.
zStop trailer and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn
engine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming
operation.
zStay alert for uneven terrain, holes, rocks, and roots and other hidden
hazards. Keep away from drop-offs and hazards that could cause roll
over. Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when trans-
porting or operating on hillsides, over rough ground and when operating
close to ditches or fences. Be careful and slow down when turning sharp
corners and changing direction on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly
on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes. In extremely uneven terrain,
rear wheels weights, front tractor weight, and/or tire ballast should be
used to improve stability.
zAlways check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.
zWhen using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must
be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over,
causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front-
end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in the tires or front tractor weights.
When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight on the
front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh
the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!

SAFETY DECALS
ATTENTION! BECOMEALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED
Replace Immediately If Damaged
The following safety decals are located on your implement. Read
them and follow their instructions. Keep all decals in place and legible. If
safety signs have been damaged, removed, become illegible or parts

or factory.
