3.4 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:
• a hard hat.
• protective shoes with slip resistant
soles.
• protective glasses or goggles.
• heavy gloves.
• wet weather gear.
• respirator or filter mask.
• hearing 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.
