    To the Owner/Operator/Dealer All implements with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded opera- tor who recognizes the potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued) EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.
  • Page 6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to pro- vide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator. 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 equipment.
  • Page 7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY SIGNS Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times. Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign. Safety signs are available from your Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory. How to Install Safety Signs: Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry.
