SAFETY



GENERAL SAFETY (continued)


6. Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long

hair. Never wear dangling items such as
scarves or bracelets.


7. 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.


8. Keep all shields in place. Never alter or

remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate independent of
the shaft and can telescope freely.


9. Use only service and repair parts made or

approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design, or safety requirements.

10. Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized

modifications may impair the function
and/or safety and affect machine life.

11. Stop engine and remove key from ignition

before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.

12. Keep the area used for servicing machinery

clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when
working with electrical equipment. Be sure
all electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded.

13. Use adequate light for the job at hand.

14. Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff on a

hot engine are a fire hazard. Do not allow oil
or grease to accumulate on service
platforms, ladders or controls. Clean
machines before storage.

15. Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile

material for cleaning purposes. These
materials may be toxic and/or flammable.


16. When storing machinery, cover sharp or

extending components to prevent injury
from accidental contact.
