SAFETY TRAINING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our product. Un- fortunately, 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 ac- cident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
It has been said, ― The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.‖ We ask you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the manual and to follow them. Accidents can be avoided.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this man- ual, and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines. If this machine is used by any person other than you, or is loaned or rented, it is the rotary tiller owner’s responsibility to make certain that the owner's manual be available to the operator prior to operating:
1- Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2- Is instructed in safe and proper use.
Know your controls and how to stop the tractor, engine, and tiller quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your tractor.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will operate the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator ex- poses himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.
