SAFETY SAFETY...YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES 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.
SAFETY TIRE SAFETY • Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a rim can produce an explosion which may result in a serious injury or death. • Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have proper equipment and experience to do the job. • Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and/or mount tires.
SAFETY DURING OPERATION • Be aware of bystanders, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start the engine or to move the unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting. • NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED- Do not allow anyone to ride on or inside the mixer at any time! • Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts. • Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust your equipment while it is moving. • When halting operation, even periodically, set vehicle brakes, disengage PTO, shut off engine, and remove ignition key. • Be especially observant of the operating area and terrain. Watch for holes, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
SAFETY • Be sure the inside of the mixer is clear of any obstruction before operating and that all shields are in place. This includes any truck and driveline shields. Repair or replace any damaged or missing shields. Exposed shafts can grab hands and clothing and cause severe injury or death. • Use caution when working around the discharge area. Stay clear of power chute & slide tray. These are controlled from the cab and could operate without warning, creating pinch points which could cause severe injury or death.
SAFETY HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS • Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads. • Use approved accessory lighting, flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators of other vehicles on highway during transport.
