GENERAL 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. You, the operator, can avoid
many accidents by observing the following precautions in this section. To avoid personal
injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow
them.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not readable
or is missing. Location of such decals is indicated in this booklet.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this
equipment's operations. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they
have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety
precautions and of how it works.
To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System (ROPS).
Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your equipment.
