SAFETY

Connecting and Disconnecting Safety Instructions and Practices

For your protection while operating or servicing equipment, wear relatively tight and belted clothing to
avoid entanglement in moving parts. Tie up and protect long hair that could become entangled in
machinery. Remove all jewelry including necklaces, rings and watches which can get caught in
machinery or on corners or edges of the equipment. Serious injury can result from entanglement with
the machinery. 

(SG-42)

Use extreme care when loading, carrying or handling any agricultural fertilizers,
chemicals or biological residue. Follow the manufacturer’s handling instructions
and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment including gloves, safety
glasses and respirator when required. If you are using a tractor equipped with a
cab, make sure the cab is rated for appropriate environmental exposure. Be safe
and always wear proper protection. Short or long term exposure to certain
chemicals and materials can result in serious injury or death.  

(SL-19)

Do not stand or allow bystander or coworkers between the Backhoe and the
tractor while installing or disconnecting the Backhoe from the tractor. Keep hands
and body clear of the Backhoe and the Backhoe mounts. Serious injury or death
can result from a person being crushed between the tractor and Backhoe. 

(SBH-32)

Only mount the backhoe on a tractor that is listed on the mounting instructions. Never mount on a
tricycle steering front axle. Move the tractor front and rear wheels to the widest spacing and add the
recommended rear tractor ballast to prevent tractor tip over. Keep the tractor tires properly inflated.
Maintain at least 20% of the total Tractor and Backhoe weight on the front axle. Always wear your
seatbelt and make sure the ROPS structure is fully deployed to prevent serious injury or death from
the tractor tipping over. 

(SBH-18)

Make sure the Backhoe is properly attached to the tractor and the retaining pins securely lock the
Backhoe into position. Improper mounting of the Backhoe onto the tractor can result in the Backhoe
falling causing serious injury. 

(SBH-22)

Make sure all tractor and Backhoe guards are in place and properly functioning. 

(SBH-26)

Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use the
Backhoe if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the Backhoe to fall resulting in
a serious crushing injury.  

(SBH-21)
