6.9  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 prevention 

are dependent upon the awareness, concern, 

prudence and proper training of personnel involved 

in the operation, transport, maintenance and 

storage of this equipment.

3. 

The best safety feature is an 

informed, careful operator—we 

ask you to be that kind of an 

operator. It is the operator's 

responsibility to read, understand 

and follow ALL safety and 

operation instructions in the 

manual. Accidents can be 

avoided.

4. 

Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead 

to careless injuries. Read this manual before 

assembly or using the machine to acquaint 

yourself with it. If this machine is used by any 

person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented, 

it is the machine owner's responsibility to make 

certain that prior to using, the operator:

  - reads and understands the owner's manual
  - is instructed in safe and proper use of the 

equipment

  - understands and knows how to perform the 

Safe Condition procedure

5. 

Train all new personnel and review instructions 

frequently with existing workers. Be certain only 

a properly trained and physically able person will 

use the machinery. A person who has not read and 

understood all use and safety instructions is not 

qualified to use the machine. An untrained operator 

exposes himself and bystanders to possible 

serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting 

with the work, their physical limitations need to be 

recognized and accommodated.

6. 

Know your controls and how to stop the machine 

and the tractor quickly in an emergency. Read this 

manual thoroughly..

6.10  Maintenance Safety

Place the machine in a Safe Condition before 

performing any service, maintenance work or storage 

preparation. See 

Safe Condition on page 9

Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor 

maintenance is an invitation to trouble.

Follow good shop practices.

• 

Keep service area clean and 

dry.

• 

Be sure electrical outlets and 

tools are properly grounded.

• 

Use adequate light for the 

job at hand.

• 

Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never 

operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a 

closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause 

asphyxiation.

• 

Before working on this machine, set the brake and 

turn the engine off.

• 

Never work under equipment unless it is blocked 

securely.

• 

Always use personal protection devices such as 

eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing 

any service or maintenance work. Use heavy or 

leather gloves when handling blades.

• 

Where replacement parts are necessary for 

periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine 

factory replacement parts must be used to restore 

your equipment to original specifications. The 

manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or 

damages caused by use of unapproved parts and/

or accessories.

• 

A 

fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept 

readily accessible while performing maintenance 

on this equipment.  

• 

Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and 

check that all electrical and fuel connections are 

properly secured.

• 

When completing a maintenance or service 

function, make sure all safety shields and devices 

are installed before placing unit in service.
