BEFCO CYCLONE C30-CE5, Operator'S Manual

2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety is the 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.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training
of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and
operating instructions in the manual and to follow these.
Allow only properly trained personnel to operate the mower. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, the engine manual and the
manual for your tractor, before assembly or operation, to acquaint yourself with the
machines. It is the mower 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, reads and understands the operator’s manuals and is instructed in safe and
proper use.

2.01 - Preparation

1. Before operating equipment read and understand the operator’s manual and the

safety signs 

(see fig. 2)

.

2. Thoroughly inspect the implement before initial operation to assure that all

packaging materials, i.e. wires, bands, and tape have been removed. 

3. Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and

gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment,
maintaining and/or repairing the implement.

Roll-Over-Protective-System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or
even death could result from falling off the vehicle.

causing injury or damage.
