GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your
operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Protect yourself.
When assembling, operating, and servicing
machinery, wear all the protective clothing
and personal safety devices that COULD be
necessary for the job at hand. Don’t take
chances.
You may need:
o a hard hat.
o protective shoes with slip resistant soles.
o protective glasses or goggles.
o heavy gloves.
o wet weather gear.
o respirator or filter mask.
o hearing protection. Be aware that
prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Wearing a suitable hearing protective
device such as ear muffs (A) or ear plugs
(B) protects against objectionable or loud
noises.
Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be
sure the extinguisher is properly maintained
and be familiar with its proper use.
Keep young children away from machinery at
all times.
Be aware that accidents often happen when
the Operator is tired or in a hurry to get
finished. Take the time to consider the safest
way. Never ignore warning signs of fatigue.
Wear close-fitting clothing
and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as
scarves or bracelets.
Keep hands, feet, clothing,
and hair away from moving
parts. Never attempt to clear
obstructions or objects from
a machine while the engine
is running.
Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate independently of
the shaft, and can telescope freely.
Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design, or safety requirements.
Do not
modify the machine. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the function and/or
safety and affect machine life.
