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.
