SAFETY TRAINING

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manu-
facture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to
provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator or bystander.
In addition to the design and confi guration of equip-
ment, 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.
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 understand ALL
Safety and Operating instructions
in the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be
avoided.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to
careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual
for your tractor, before assembly or operating, to ac-
quaint yourself with the machines. 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 operating:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
Know your controls and how to stop tractor, engine
and machine quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with your tractor.
Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain only
a properly trained and physically able person will
operate the machinery. A person who has not read
and understood all operating and safety instructions
is not qualifi ed to operate the machine. An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting
with farm work, their physical limitations need to
be recognized and accommodated.
