EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of
equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. How-
ever, 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 shield removal becomes necessary for repairs,
replace the shield prior to use.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or NOTICE label that is not readable or is miss-
ing.
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 opera-
tor should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s
operation. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read
this manual and have developed a through understanding of the safety precautions
and how it works.
Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning labels on your equipment.
Observe all safety signs and practice the instructions on them.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in
question - DON’T TRY IT.
LIGHTING AND MARKING
It is the responsibility of the operator 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.
