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, 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. (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 instruc- tions.

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.

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; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

If equipped with driveline guard tether chains, make sure they are attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in the pamphlet that accom- panies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline guards rotate freely on drive- line before putting equipment into service.

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.

Before putting equipment into service, check and adjust driveline length as instructed in Opera- tor's Manual. Driveline must not bottom out or pull apart throughout the full range of the tractor hitch. Do not operate until driveline length is correct.

Inspect chain, rubber, or steel band shielding before each use. Replace if damaged.

Remove accumulated debris from this equip- ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

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 dam- aged.

A minimum 20% 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.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

OPERATION

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