SAFETY READ BEFORE YOU FEED EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment. Designers and manufactures 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 9
SAFETY READ BEFORE YOU FEED KEEP ALL SHIELDS IN PLACE Do not operate mixer/feeder without safety shields in place. Rotating parts can crush or dismember causing personal injury or death. Disconnect PTO driveline before removing shields for adjustment or service. OPERATE MIXER/FEEDER SAFELY Rotating parts can entangle or strike people, resulting in personal injury or death.
Page 10
SAFETY READ BEFORE YOU FEED STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING DRIVELINES Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death. Keep tractor master shield and driveline shields in place at all times. Make sure rotating shields turn freely. Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustments, connections, or cleaning out PTO driven equipment .
