while it is in motion.
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
• Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing & equipment appropriate for
the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Chemical Safety
• Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper
use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil
and property.
• Read chemical manufacturers instructions and store
or dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care and avoid inhaling smoke from
any type of chemical fire.
• Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Prepare for Emergencies
• Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy
• Keep emergency numbers for the doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near the phone.
