SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Federal law requires you to explain the safety and operating instructions furnished with this machine to all
employees before they are allowed to operate the machine. These must be repeated to the employees at the
beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety of anyone operating or
near the machine.
Investigation has shown that nearly one-third of all farm accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
You can do your part in improving safety by observing the following suggestions. Insist that all people working
with you or for you abide by them.
1.
Do not stand between the tractor and implement when attaching or detaching implement unless both
are not moving.
2.
Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it is in motion.
3.
Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or machine.
4.
Always use transport lock when transporting machine.
5.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 mph.
6.
Avoid sudden stops or turns when transporting because weight of machine may cause operator to
lose control of tractor. Use a tractor heavier than machine. Do not allow tractor drawbar to swing
when transporting.
7.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the
machine to slip sideways.
8.
When transporting the machine on a road or highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflectors,
lights, and slow moving vehicle signs as required.
9.
Lower machine to ground when not in use.
10.
Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from tractor.
11.
Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling hydraulic hoses from tractor. On most tractors
this can be done by operating valves after engine is stopped.
12.
Securely block machine when working on or under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure or
inadvertent lowering by another person.
13.
Do not allow anyone near the machine when folding or unfolding the wings. Fold wings on as
level a surface as possible.
14.
Install safety chain between the pulverizer and the tractor. See page 21 of this manual and/or tractor
manual.
15.
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and
that lines and hoses are not damaged.
16.
Hydraulic fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or a
piece of wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks.
