GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your
operating procedure for all types of machinery.
•Protect yourself.
•When assembling, operating and servicing
machinery, wear all the protective clothing
and personal safety devices that COULD be
necessary for the job at hand. Don't take
chances.
•You may need:
oa hard hat.
oprotective shoes with slip resistant soles.
oprotective glasses or goggles.
oheavy gloves.
owet weather gear.
orespirator or filter mask.
ohearing protection. Be aware that
prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Wearing a suitable hearing protective
device such as ear muffs (A) or ear plugs
(B) protects against objectionable or loud
noises.
•Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
•Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be
sure the extinguisher is properly maintained
and be familiar with its proper use.
•Keep young children away from machinery at
all times.
•Be aware that accidents often happen when
the operator is tired or in a hurry to get
finished. Take the time to consider the safest
way. Never ignore warning
signs of fatigue.
•Wear close-fitting clothing
and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as
scarves or bracelets.
•Keep hands, feet, clothing
and hair away from moving
parts. Never attempt to clear obstructions or
objects from a machine while the engine is
running.
•Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate independently of
the shaft, and can telescope freely.
•Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design, or safety requirements.
•Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the function and/or
safety and affect machine life.

•Stop engine, and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.
•Keep the area used for
servicing machinery clean
and dry. Wet or oily floors
are slippery. Wet spots can
be dangerous when
working with electrical
equipment. Be sure all
electrical outlets and tools
are properly grounded.
•Use adequate light for the
job at hand.
•Keep machinery clean. Do
not allow oil or grease to accumulate on
service platforms, ladders or controls. Clean
machines before storage.
•Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile
material for cleaning purposes. These
materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
•When storing machinery, cover sharp or
extending components to prevent injury from
accidental contact.

RECOMMENDED TORQUES
A. GENERAL
The tables shown below give correct torque
values for various bolts and capscrews.
•Tighten all bolts to the torques specified in
chart unless otherwise noted throughout this
manual.
•Check tightness of bolts periodically, using
bolt torque chart as a guide.
•Replace hardware with the same strength
bolt.
•Torque figures are valid for non-greased or
non-oiled threads and heads unless
otherwise specified. Do not grease or oil
bolts or capscrews unless specified in this
manual.
•When using locking elements, increase
torque values by 5%.
