ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFETY BY THINKING BEFORE ACTION
AVOID FIRE HAZARDS
- Keep re extinguishers easily available and in good operating condition.
All relevant personnel should know how to operate re ghting equipment.
- Keep a rst aid kit in an easily accessible location.
- Do not smoke while handling fuel,or other highly ammable material.
- Do not use an open pail for transporting fuel.

- Wear safety goggles when handling battery electrolyte.It contains sulfuric acid which is a poison and can
cause blindness.Avoid it contacting eyes,skin,or clothing. sulfuric acid will eat through clothing and can cause
severe burns to skin.
AVOID HIGH- PRESSURE FLUIDS
1) Before beginning work on hydraulic system components,turn off engine and operate hydraulic control levers
to relieve internal hydraulic pressure.
2) Oil under pressure can penetrate skin and lead to personal injury.Treat sources of oil pressure with extreme
care,wearing safety goggles.
3) If hydraulic leak develops,correct immediately.Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely high pressure. A
stream of high pressure oil may easily penetrate skin just like modern needless vaccination equipment,but
with the exception that hydraulic uid may cause blood poisoning.
It is imperative that connections are tight and that all lines and pipes should be in good condition.
If injured by escaping hydraulic uid,see a doctor at once.
STAY CLEAR OF PTO
1) Entanglement in rotating drive line can cause serious injury or death.
2) Keep tractor master shield and drive line shield in place at all times except for special applications as directed
in the implement operator's manual.
3) Wear fairly tight tting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustment,
connections or cleaning out PTO drive equipment.
