SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
•
Keep work area clean,
free of clutter and well lit.
Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
•
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a seeder. Distractions can cause you to
lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
•
Be alert of your surroundings.
Using a seeder in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert,
watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a seeder. Do not use
a seeder while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating a seeder may result in serious personal injury.
•
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
•
Use safety apparel and equipment.
Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask if
working in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid
safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when
appropriate.
SEEDER USE AND CARE
•
Do not modify the seeder
in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which
the seeder was designed.
•
Always check for damaged or worn out parts before using the seeder.
Broken parts will
affect the seeder operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
•
Do not exceed the seeder
load capacity.
•
Distribute the load evenly.
Uneven loads may cause the seeder to tip, resulting in personal
injury to the operator or others.
•
Use the seeder
on flat and level surfaces
capable of supporting the seeder and its maximum
load. Pulling or pushing a load on a slanted or uneven surface can result in loss of control.
•
Store idle seeder.
When seeder is not in use, store it in a secure place indoors and out of the
reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
