Safety Rules (Cont’d)
• Keep children, bystanders and other workers off
and away from the machine and attachment during
operation. No riders allowed.
• Before inspecting, cleaning, lubricating, adjusting
or servicing any part of the attachment, always
exercise the Mandatory Shut-Down Procedure.
See “Mandatory Shut-Down Procedure” on page
6. After service has been performed, be sure to
restore all guards, shields and covers to their original
position.
• Make sure the operator’s area is clear of any
distracting objects. Keep work areas clean and free
of grease and oil to avoid slipping or falling.
• Make sure all controls, (levers, pedals and switches),
are in NEUTRAL position before starting the engine.
• Before leaving the operator’s position for ANY
reason or allowing anyone to approach the machine
and attachment, always perform the mandatory
shutdown procedure.
• Do not wear loose hanging clothes, neckties or
jewelry around rotating parts. Long hair is to be
placed under a cap or hat. These precautions will
help prevent you from becoming caught in any
moving parts on the machine and attachment.
• Before working under the attachment, be certain it is
securely blocked!
• Do wear safety glasses, ear protection, respirators,
gloves, hard hats, safety shoes and other protective
clothing when required.
• Periodically check all guards, shields and structural
members. Replace or repair anything that could
cause a potential hazard.
• Do not replace components or parts with other than
factory-recommended service parts. To do so may
decrease the effectiveness of the machine.
• It is the operator’s responsibility to be aware of
machine and attachment operation and work area
hazards at all times.
• Never operate the attachment without adequate
light and visibility.
Safety Instructions
• Keep hands and feet clear! Never step over or climb
over the attachment while the rotor is engaged or the
engine is running; entanglement could occur.
• Operators are responsible to know the location
and function of all guards and shields including but
not limited to belt drives and rotor. Operators are
responsible to make certain that all guards are in
place when operating the machine and attachment.
• Operators are responsible to be aware of safety
hazard areas and follow instructions on warning,
caution, or danger decals applied to the machine.
• Know the area before operating the machine. Be
aware of power lines or other equipment.
• Do not lubricate parts while the machine is running.
• Do not smoke while servicing the machine.
Hydraulic Safety
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Make
sure all lines and fittings are tight and in good
condition. These fluids escaping under high pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause
serious injury.
• Never check for leaks by using any part of your body
to feel for escaping fluid.
WARNING: Contact with high pressure
fluids may cause fluid penetration and burn
hazards. Fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can
cause serious injury and possible death. If
fluid is injected into the skin, seek medical
attention immediately!
