2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1.
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 a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, prudence and proper training of personnel
involved in theoperation, transport,maintenance
and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best safety feature is an
informed, careful operator."
We ask you to be that kind of
an operator. It is the opera-
tor's responsibility to readand
understand ALL Safety and
Operating instructions in the manual and to fol-
low these. Accidents can be avoided.
4.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual, and
the manual for your auxiliary equipment,
before assembly or operating, to acquaint
yourself with the machines. If this machine
is used by any person other than yourself. It
is themachineowner's responsibility tomake
certain that the operator, prior to operating:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5.
Know your controls and how to stop augers,
PTO, hydraulic system and any other auxiliary
equipment quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with your other
equipment.
6. Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain only
a properly trained and physically able personwill
operate the machinery. A person who has not
read and understood all operating and safety
instructions is not qualified to operate the ma-
chine. Anuntrainedoperator exposeshimself 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.
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs displayed in Section 3 each have a
part number in the lower right hand corner. Use
this part number when ordering replacement
parts.
5. Safety signs are available from your authorized
Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the
factory.
