Safety Training

zSafety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our prod- uct. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.

zIn addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, trans- port, maintenance and storage of this equipment.

zIt has been said, “ The best safety device is an informed, careful opera- tor.” We ask you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s responsi- bility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the manual and to follow them. Accidents can be avoided.

zWorking with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operat- ing, 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.

zKnow your controls and how to stop the tractor, engine, and tiller quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your trac- tor.

zTrain 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 exposes himself and bystanders to possible seri- ous injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their physi- cal limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.
