Section 1- Safety
Above all else WORK SAFELY!!!
General Safety
1. Do not wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving parts or snag on
obstructions.
2. Use caution when making any adjustments.
3. Always use the proper tools or equipment.
4. Ensure all parts, service equipment, and tools are clear of the machine before
operating any component or moving the machine.
5. Never allow any person to ride on the machine when in motion.
6. Do not attempt to remove obstructions or debris while the machine is in motion.
7. Warning and Caution stickers are affixed to your machine; be aware of their location
and message and do not remove.
8. Use extreme caution when working on hillsides, near ditches or fence rows, or around
other people or machinery.
9. Be aware of clearances all around your machine! Generally your Penta tillage
equipment is much wider than the towing vehicle.
10. Never rely on hydraulic operating systems to hold your machine! Always use
mechanical locks or stands and blocking to support the machine when working under
or around it.
11. Do not work on any towed equipment with the tow vehicle running. Wise operators
always remove keys from towing vehicles and insure all hydraulic systems are in the
neutral or “float” position to avoid possible unanticipated movement of the machine.
12. Always work at a deliberate pace; rushing can often result in accidents!
13. Use mechanical chocks or blocks on wheels and tires before disconnecting from any
tow vehicle.
14. Relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic connections or
servicing any hydraulic components. Place tractor hydraulic controls in the “neutral” or
float position.
15. Ensure all guards, shields or safety decals remain in place and in good condition.
16. Be aware of others around you or the machine!
