5 SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator s single careless act. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment. It has been said The best safety device is an informed, careful operator. We ask you to be that kind of operator. TRAINING Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals are available from your dealer). Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death. If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer. Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency. Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions. Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death. Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY. Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment. PREPARATION Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual. Do not connect a low-pressure hydraulic hose into a high-pressure system - it will burst the hose. Do not use a high-pressure hose in place of a lowpressure hose - it is possible to rupture the valve. Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head. Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition. Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in locked up position at all times. Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety & Instructional Decals section for location). A minimum 0% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate. Make sure circuit selector lever does not hit tractor cab, etc. throughout operating range of - point hitch of tractor. Bend lever, if necessary, to clear cab, but it should still be convenient to operate from the tractor seat. OPERATION Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment. Do not operate equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.
