General Equipment Safety

SAFETY. . .YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT!

General 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. 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 presented in this manual. 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 inuence 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 operator should be a responsible

adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in the equipment’s operations. Do not allow persons to operate or

assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the

safety precautions and of how it 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.

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 any additional equipment to provide compliance with the regulations. Aftermarket lighting

kits are often available from your dealer.

This machine is equipped with lighting, marking, and signs in compliance with standards published by the American

Society of Agricultural Engineers for Slow Moving Agricultural Implements on Public Roadways.

Wheels and Tires

Tire Safety

• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which may

result in serious injury or death.

• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience.

• Inating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Only trained personnel should be called to service and/or mount

tires.

• Only install tires and wheels with appropriate capacity to meet or exceed the anticipated weight to be placed on

the equipment.

DON’T FORGET! Your best assurance against accidents is a careful and responsible operator. If there is any portion

of this manual or function you do not understand, contact your local authorized dealer or the manufacturer.
