Safety
General
The following pages contain general safety warnings
which supplement specific warnings and cautions ap-
pearing elsewhere in this manual. All electrical and
hydraulic equipment is potentially hazardous. You must
thoroughly review and understand this Safety Section
before attempting to operate, troubleshoot, maintain or
service this baler.
Time, money and effort have been invested in making
your Baler a safe product. The dividend from this invest-
ment is YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY.
However, it must be realized that no power-driven equip-
ment can be any safer than the person behind the con-
trols. If you don’t operate and maintain your Freeman
Baler safely, our efforts will have been in vain.
The safety instructions and warnings, as documented
in this manual and shipped with the machine, provide
the most reliable procedures for the safe operation and
maintenance of your Baler. It’s your responsibility to see
that they are carried out.
Allied Systems Company cannot anticipate all worksite
conditions, local regulations, etc. It is the responsibil-
ity of the end user to be aware of and obey any specific
worksite, local, state, or national regulations or proce-
dures that are applicable to operating this baler.
NOTE: All possible safety hazards cannot be antici-
pated so as to be included in this manual. Therefore,
you must always be alert to potential hazards that
could endanger personnel and/or damage the equip-
ment.
