EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new
piece of equipment. Designers and manufactures build in as many safety features as
possible. However, every year many 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 in this section.
To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you,
or for you, follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may
show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be
operated in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If a shield is removed to perform
maintenance or make a repair, reinstall the shield after the maintenance or repair is
complete.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not
readable or is missing. Location of such decals are indicated in this manual.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this
equipment’s operations. Do not allow persons to operate or perform maintenance or
repairs on this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.
Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your
equipment. Observe all safety signs and follow the instructions on them.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery, in its ability to do a job, or to do so
safely, if safe operation is in question - DON’T TRY IT.
LIGHTING AND MARKING
It is the responsibility of the customer to know the lighting and marking requirements of the
local highway authorities and to install and maintain the equipment to provide compliance
with the regulations. Add extra lights when transporting at night or during periods of
limited visibility.
