General Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers
and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which
could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You,
the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions presented in this section. To avoid
personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
• Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not readable or is missing. Location
of such decals is indicated in this booklet.
• Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
• Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
• This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in the equipment’s operations. Do not allow persons
to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how the machine works.
• To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System (ROPS).
• Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your equipment. Observe all safety
signs and practice the instructions on them.

TRY IT.
