GENERAL 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. 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.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not readable or is missing.
Location of such decals is indicated in this booklet.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions in the operator’s manual 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 or construction machinery and trained in this equipment’s
operations. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this
manual and the owner’s manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety
precautions and how the machine works.
To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System (ROPS). Do not
paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals 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.
