SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
SAFETY SIGNS
Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible.
Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
Safety signs are available from your Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory.
How to Install Safety Signs:
Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry. Be sure temperature is above 50ÞF (10ÞC).
Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper. Align the sign over the specified area and carefully press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing in place.
Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of the sign in place. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the piece of sign backing paper.
SAFETY TRAINING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to pro- vide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator. It is the operator’s responsibili- ty to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are depend- ent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, trans- port, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Working 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. It is the implement owner’s responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain that the operator, prior to operating:
1.Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2.Is instructed in safe and proper use.
Know your controls and how to stop tractor, engine, and implement quickly in an emergency. Read this manu- al and the one provided with your tractor.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. 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.
Do not allow children to operate this machine.
