OPERATION

OPERATION

Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety signs are affixed to the implement and tractor. If any part of the operation and safe use of this equipment is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation.

If the operator cannot read the manuals for themselves or does not completely understand the operation of the equipment, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to read and explain the manuals, safety practices, and operating instructions to the operator.

Safe operation of equipment requires that the operator wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the job conditions when attaching, operating, servicing, and repairing the equipment. PPE is designed to provide operator protection and includes the following safety wear:

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

•Protective Eye Glasses, Goggles, or Face Shield

•Hard Hat

•Steel Toe Safety Footwear

•Gloves

•Hearing Protection

•Close Fitting Clothing

•Respirator or Filter Mask (depends on operating conditions) OPS-L- 0021

3. Tractor Requirements

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll- over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads, round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or other sources.
