2.4 SAFETY TRAINING
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and conguration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, prudence and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, mainte-
nance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The
best safety feature is an
informed, careful opera-
tor." We ask you to be that
kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and understand
ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be
avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the
manual for your auxiliary equipment, before
assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with
the machines. If this machine is used by any
person other than yourself. It is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that the
operator, prior to operating:
a. Reads and understands the operator's manu-
als.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop pilers,
conveyors and any other auxiliary equipment
quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and
the one provided with your other equipment.
6. Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain only
a properly trained and physically able person
will operate the machinery. A person who has
not read and understood all operating and
safety instructions is not qualied to operate the
machine. An untrained operator exposes him-
self and bystanders to possible serious injury or
death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work,
their physical limitations need to be recognized
and accommodated.
2.5 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs are available from your authorized
Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the
factory.
