STOP
Roll Away Hazard
Before leaving the
tractor seat, make sure
the engine is stopped, the transmission is placed in
park, the key is removed, and the parking brake is
set.
The weight of the tractor, plus the disc
harrow if it rolls onto a person, can cause
serious crushing injury or death.
Crush Hazard
The tractor should be equipped with
a Roll Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and a seat belt. A crushing hazard can occur
if the driver is ejected from the seat while the tractor
is in motion. Fasten the seat belt whenever the
tractor is moving.
Stay Clear
Clear the work area of all unnecessary
people and obstructions to prevent
personal injury.
Disc Blade Contact Hazard (hand)
To avoid serious injury or death, keep away
from ground-engaging components. Do
not put hands under disc harrow.
Disc Blade Contact Hazard (foot)
To avoid serious injury or death, keep away
from ground-engaging components. Do
not put feet under disc harrow.
The following safety instructions are provided to
help prevent injury or limit equipment damage.
THINK
SAFETY!
Train Unfamiliar Users
It is the disc harrow owner’s
responsibility to make sure any person
using the disc harrow, especially if it is loaned or
rented, has been thoroughly trained on its proper
and safe use.
Be certain only physically-able persons will use the
disc harrow.
Untrained users expose themselves and bystanders
to possible serious injury or death.
If the elderly are assisting with the work, their
physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
Never allow children to operate equipment.
Do not operate the disc harrow, or drive the tractor
into material that is burning, or areas that recently
burnt and may contain hot spots. Tire damage can
occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease
on the tractor and disc harrow could ignite, resulting
in equipment destruction.
