OPERATING SAFETY
Please remember it is important that you read and
heed the safety signs on the Arena-VatorII. Clean
or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly
read and understood. They are there for your safety,
as well as the safety of others. The safe use of this
machine is strictly up to you, the operator.
All things with moving parts are potentially haz-
ardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-
minded operator who recognizes potential hazards
and follows reasonable safety practices. The manu-
facturer has designed this Arena-VatorII to be used
with all its safety equipment properly attached
to minimize the chance of accidents. Study this
manual to make sure you have all safety equipment
attached.
If a safety shield or guard is removed for any rea-
son, it must be replaced before the machine is again
operated.
When the use of hand tools is required to perform
any part of assembly, installation, adjustment,
maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving, be sure
the tools used are designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer for that specifi c task.
Personal protection equipment including hard hat,
safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recom-
mended during assembly, installation, operation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or
moving. Do not allow long hair, loose fi tting clothing,
or jewelry to be around moving parts.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy
components during assembly, installation, removal,
or moving.
Never place any part of your body where it would be
in danger if movement should occur during assem-
bly, installation, operation, maintaining, repairing,
removal, or moving.

Never place yourself between the tractor and ma-
chine while implement is in operation.
Do not walk or work under a raised machine or at-
tachment unless it is securely blocked or held in posi-
tion. Do not depend on the tractor hydraulic system
to hold the machine or attachment in place.
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use
extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. The tractor may need front
counterweights to counterbalance the weight of the
machine.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs, which can
hinder alertness or coordination, while operating
this equipment. Consult your doctor about operat-
ing this machine while taking prescription medica-
tions.
Do not allow riders on the machine or tractor at any
time. There is no safe place for any riders.
Before you operate the machine, check over all pins,
bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts imme-
diately.
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the
safety rules and operation instructions to use this
machine.
Never allow children to operate or be around this
machine.
Use stabilizer bars, adjustable sway chains, or sway
blocks on the tractor lift arms to keep the machine
from swinging side to side. Adjust as tightly as prac-
tical for best performance.
Clear the work area of objects which might be picked
up and snagged or entangled in the machine.
Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away
from all moving and/or rotating parts.
