This symbol means: •...
SAFETY 1.2 Signal Words Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Two signal words, IMPORTANT and NOTE, identify non-safety related information. Signal words are selected using the following guidelines: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY 1.3 General Safety Protect yourself when assembling, operating, and servicing machinery. CAUTION The following general farm safety precautions should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery. Wear all protective clothing and personal safety devices that could be necessary for the job at hand.
Page 18
SAFETY • Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. NEVER wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets. • Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety equipment. Ensure that the driveline guards can rotate independently of their shaft, and that they can telescope freely.
SAFETY 1.4 Maintenance Safety Protect yourself when maintaining machinery. To ensure your safety while maintaining the machine: • Review the operator’s manual and all safety items before operating or performing maintenance on the machine. • Place all controls in Neutral, stop the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, or repairing the machine.
SAFETY 1.5 Hydraulic Safety Protect yourself when assembling, operating, and servicing hydraulic components. • Always place all hydraulic controls in Neutral before leaving the operator’s seat. • Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept clean and in good condition. •...
SAFETY 1.6 Tire Safety Understand the risks of handling tires before performing maintenance tasks.
