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 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.

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

„Make sure the driveline spring-activated locking collar slides freely and is seated firmly in power unit PTO groove. Make sure the set screws securely attach driveline to the attachment gearbox shaft.

„The safety interlock system was installed for your protection. Do not disconnect, disable, over- ride, or execute any action that would cause this system to malfunction. If malfunction occurs, stop all operation and contact dealer for repair.

„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.

„When using weight transfer system, correct counterweight must be used to maintain stability. See counterweight chart in power unit manual or contact dealer.

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

OPERATION

„Never place any part of the body underneath implement/attachment or between its moving parts even when the engine has been turned off. Service work does not require going underneath unit. Mechanical failures, electrical failures, or operating controls can cause equipment to drop.

„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.

„Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.

„Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
