Woods Equipment FSW6000T manual Operation, A Warning, A Caution, Rear Tractor Weight Requirements

OPERATION

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.

A WARNING

„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.

„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.

„Before performing any service or maintenance, lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground cable (negative -).

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

„Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

„Keep bystanders away from equipment.

„Do not stop, start, or change directions sud- denly on slopes.

A CAUTION

„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.

SWEEPING TIPS

A WARNING

„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.

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