Safety Training

zSafety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product. 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, transport, mainte- nance and storage of this equipment.

zIt 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.

zWorking with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, 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 mower owner’s respon- sibility to make certain that 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 tractor, engine, and the mower quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your tractor.

zTrain all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing work- ers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will oper- ate 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 serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.
