Safe Operation Needs A Qualified Operator

Operators must have instructions before operating
the machine. Untrained operators can cause injury or
death.
For an operator to be qualified, he or she must not use
drugs or alcoholic drinks which impair alertness or
coordination while working. An operator who is taking
prescription drugs must get medical advice to
determine if he or she can safely operate a tractor and
the equipment.
A Qualified Operator Must Do The Following:
Understand the Written Instructions, Rules and
Regulations
• The written instructions from Farm King include
the Warranty Registration, Dealer Inspection
Report, Operator's manual and equipment signs
(decals).
• Check the rules and regulations at your location.
The rules may include an employer's work safety
requirements. Regulations may apply to local
driving requirements or use of a Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) emblem. Regulations may identify a
hazard such as a utility line.
Have Training with Actual Operation
• Operator training must consist of a demonstration
and verbal instruction. This training is given by the
equipment owner prior to operation.
• The new operator must start in an area without
bystanders and use all the controls until he or she
can operate the tractor and equipment safely under
all conditions of the work area. Always fasten seat
belt before operating.
Know the Work Conditions
• Clear working area of all bystanders, especially
small children and all obstacles that might be
hooked or snagged, causing injury or damage.
• Know the location of any overhead or underground
power lines. Call local utilities and have all
underground power lines marked prior to operation.
• Wear tight fitting clothing. Always wear safety
glasses when doing maintenance or service.
