WARNING
Tire Safety
•
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools
and equipment.
•
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to
one side, not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use
a safety cage if available.
•
When removing and installing wheels use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for the weight
involved.
Safety Chain
•
Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater
than the gross weight of towed machinery, in
accordance with ASAE S338.2 specifications.
•
If two or more implements are pulled in tandem, a
larger chain may be required. Chain capacity must
be greater then the TOTAL weight of all towed
implements.
•
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
•
Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in
the chain to permit turning. The distance from hitch
pin to attachment point or intermediate support point
should not exceed 9 inches.
•
Replace the chain if any links or end fittings are
broken, stretched or damaged.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.
•
Hydraulic oil can be under very high
pressure.
•
A pinhole leak is not easily seen and if it
pierces the skin, it can cause injury and
possible death.
•
Any fluid injected into the skin under high
pressure should be considered a medical
emergency despite a normal appearance of
the skin.
•
Medical attention should be administered
immediately.
•
Relieve all pressure from the hydraulic
system before attempting to service it.
•
Make sure all hydraulic lines are tight
before starting the system.
Operate the jack slowly.
•
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous.
Improper use can seriously injure persons,
animals, plants, soil and property.
•
Read chemical manufacturer’s instructions
and store or dispose of unused chemicals
as specified.
•
Handle chemicals with care and avoid
inhaling smoke from any type of chemical
fire.
•
Store or dispose of unused chemicals as
specified by the chemical manufacturer.
