Safety Rules

Our policy is to produce products that are safe and reliable. However,
even when using well-engineered equipment, there is always an element
of risk. To minimize the risks and promote safety at all times, this section
of the Operator's Manual details a number of safety rules that must
always be followed and obeyed.
Further safety rules and warning texts are given within the respective
sections of this manual.
IMPORTANT! When it comes to safety, nothing will ever
replace a careful operator.
It is imperative that the operator reads and understands all the safety
information in this manual before proceeding. Failure to follow the
instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death.
Proper care is your responsibility.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that
might involve a hazard. The hazard alerts in this publication and on the
product, are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method,
or operating technique not specifically recommended by the
manufacturer is used, it is your responsibility to ensure that it is safe for
you and others. You should also ensure the machine will not be
damaged or made unsafe by the operation, maintenance, or repair
procedures you choose. Modifications or adaptations to the machine are
not allowed.
▪
It is the obligation of the operator to make sure that all guards and
shields are in place on the machine. Safety decals must be in
place and be readable – accidents may otherwise occur. Contact
your dealer or Progressive Turf Equipment Inc. for replacement
manuals or decals.
▪
Should there be any information or instructions in this manual that
are not in compliance with local laws or regulations in force in the
country or region where this equipment is operated, the local laws
and regulations must take precedence.
