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 preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, con- cern, 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. (Replace- ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) 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 attach- ments, 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 person- nel 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 gan- grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

PREPARATION

„Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

„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 system in “locked up” position at all times.

„Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

„Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

OPERATION

„Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

„Consult local utilities before working. Know location of all underground cables, pipelines, over- head wires, and other hazards in working area and avoid contact.

„Do not put stump grinder into service unless all shields and guards are in place and in good condi- tion. Replace if damaged.

„Keep bystanders away from equipment.

„Do not operate or transport equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

„Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. (Safety Rules continued on next page)
