SAFETY TRAINING

1. Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Safety is a
primary concern in the design and manufacture
of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to
provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a
single careless act of an operator or bystander.
2. 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 this equipment.
3. 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 Use instructions in the manual and
to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
4� Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries� Read this manual before
assembly or using, to acquaint yourself
with the machine� 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 using:
• Reads and understands the operator's
manuals�
• Is instructed in safe and proper use of
the equipment�
• Understands and knows how to perform
the "safe condition" procedure:

• secure the trailer from movement
5. Know your controls and how to stop the engine
and machine quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with your engine.
6. Be certain only a properly trained and physically
able person will use the machinery. A person who

instructions is not qualified to use the machine.
An untrained operator exposes himself and
bystanders to possible serious injury or death.

physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
