Safety Rules - J&M NitroGro 5010 Operator's Manual

Safety Rules

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can
be erased by an operator's single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and understands the manual(s)
pertaining to this machine. Also make certain that the operator(s) reviews and understands the operator's manual of the tow vehicle
prior to hooking up or operating the NitroGro Applicator.
Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or need more information, contact
the manufacturer or your authorized dealer.
Note: The right and the left hand sides of the implement are determined by facing the same direction that the applicator will travel when
moving forward.
SAFETY

and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check all controls in a safe area before starting your work.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make certain your machine has the
proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling off equipment and being run over. Do not permit persons to ride on
this machine.
Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating near
ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
Collision of high speed road traffic and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads, use flasher lights according
to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to let faster traffic pass.
Keep all safety shields in place.
Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts while unit is in operation.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine.
Make sure that the implement is fastened securely to the tractor by using the proper hitch pin, clip and safety chains.
Do NOT exceed speeds in excess of 20 MPH. Also be sure slow moving vehicle emblem is attached to rear of transport.
Do NOT transport Applicator with contents in the tank.
Before unhooking the implement from the towing unit, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the implement from moving. Be
sure the jack assembly is positioned in the park position and the weight has been transferred to the jack assembly before unhooking the
implement.
Avoid high pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Always relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for leaks. Use wood or cardboard instead of hands.
Keep all components in good repair.
