1.2.1.5 A word to the operator

It is your responsibility to read and understand the
safety section in this manual and the manual for all
attachments before operating this machine.
Remember you are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you, but also the people
around you.
Study the content in this manual and make the
content a working part of your safety program.
Keep in mind that this safety section is written
only for this type of machine. Practice all other
usual and customary safe working precautions,
and above all remember - safety is your
responsibility. You can prevent serious injury or
death.
This safety section is intended to point out some
of the basic safety situations that may be
encountered during the normal operation and
maintenance of your machine. This section also
suggests possible ways of dealing with these
situations. This section is not a replacement for
other safety practices featured in other sections of

this manual.

Personal injury or death may result if these
precautions are not followed.
Learn how to operate the machine and how to use
the controls properly.

instruction and training.
For your personal safety and the personal safety of
others, follow all safety precautions and

signs affixed to the machine and all attachments.

Make sure your machine has the correct
equipment needed by the local regulations.
WARNING:
An operator should not use alcohol or
drugs which can affect their alertness

operate machines.
