  • Page 5: Training

    SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our product. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident pre- vention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of per- sonnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
  • Page 6: Equipment Safety Guidelines

    SAFETY EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a tiller. However, every year 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 and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
  • Page 7: Operational Safety

    SAFETY OPERATIONAL SAFETY The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected against by the mechani- cal means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is some- thing in this manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
  • Page 8 SAFETY OPERATIONAL SAFETY Do not reach or place any part of your body under equipment until it is blocked securely. Do not allow riders on the rotary tiller or tractor at anytime.
