SAFETY INFORMATION
OM 0472SB-A [6]
17. Check all machine controls regularly and
adjust where necessary. Make sure that the
brakes are evenly adjusted. Periodically
check all nuts and bolts for tightness,
especially wheel hub and rim nuts.
18. Make sure the machine is counterweighted
and has tire chains for better traction and
stability as recommended by your dealer.
Weights provide the necessary balance to
improve stability, traction and steering. Use
only those recommended by your dealer.
19. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing. Wear a
suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against
objectionable or uncomfortable noises..
During Operation
1. Never allow anyone to operate the machine
and implement until they have read the
manuals completely and are thoroughly
familiar with their basic operation. Lack of
operating knowledge can lead to accidents.
2. Do not allow anyone to ride on the
machine/implement at any time. The only
one allowed is the operator that MUST sit
in the driver seat.
3. Never allow anyone near the work area.
The debris that can be thrown could cause
serious personal injuries.
4. Never stand alongside of the implement
while the engine is running.
5. Never operate the implement without safety
protective devices in place. All
machine/implement shields, guards and
covers must be correctly installed at all
times.
6. Keep clear of all rotating parts. Do not put
hands or feet under, or into the implement
with engine running.
7. If the implement starts to vibrate
abnormally, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine immediately and check for cause.
Excessive vibration is generally a sign of
trouble.
8. Park the machine/implement on level ground,
place the transmission in neutral, set the parking
brake, disengage the driving system, lower the
equipment to the ground, place all levers
including auxiliary control levers in neutral, shut
off the engine and remove the ignition key
BEFORE LEAVING THE MACHINE.
9. Always drive the machine at speeds compatible
with safety, especially when operating over
rough ground, crossing ditches, slippery surface
or when turning.
10. Operate only with good visibility and during
daylight hours, or when the area is well lit with
bright artificial light.
11. Do not run the engine indoors except when
starting engine and transporting attachment in or
out of building. Carbon monoxide gas is
colorless, odorless and deadly.
12. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing a gravel drive, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
13. Use extra caution when backing up.
14. Operate up and down (not across) intermediate
slopes. Avoid sudden starts and stops. Drive
machine backwards up steeper slopes with the
implement off. Then operate as you travel down
the slope.
15. Never park the machine on a steep slope. Do
not attempt to operate on steep slopes. If
operating on slopes is necessary, exercise
extreme caution when changing direction.
16. Disengage power to implement when
transporting or when not in use
