2.3 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 configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of this
equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best
safety feature is an
informed, careful operator."
We ask you to be that kind
of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and under-
stand ALL Safety and Using 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
before assembly or using, to acquaint
yourself with the machine. If this machine
is used by any person other than yourself,
or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to using:
a. Reads and understands the
operator's manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop tractor and
machine quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with tractor.
6. Train all new personnel and review
instructions frequently with existing workers.
Be certain only a properly trained and
physically able person will use the machinery.
A person who has not read and understood
all using and safety instructions is not
qualified to use the machine. An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to
possible serious in- jury or death. If the elderly
are assisting with the work, their physical
limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
2.4 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 displayed in Section 3 each
have a part number in the lower right hand
corner. Use this part number when ordering
replacement parts.
5. Safety signs are available from your
authorized Distributor or Dealer
Parts Department or the factory.
