2.5 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Operating machines safely is one of the main concerns in
designing and developing Wallenstein equipment. However,
accidents could occur that can be avoided by a few seconds of
thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.
•
Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes
necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use. In
some cases, certain illustrations in this manual may show
an assembly with a safety shield removed for clarity.
However, equipment should never be used in this condition.
•
Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not
readable or is missing. Location and explanation of safety
signs start on
.
•
Never consume alcoholic beverages or drugs while using
this equipment. These can hinder alertness or coordination.
Consult your doctor about using this machine while taking
prescription medications.
•
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may result in serious injury or death and may
impair the function and life of the equipment. Unapproved
modifications void warranty.
•
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability
to do a job, or to do so safely is in question –
DO NOT TRY
IT
.
2.6 Safe Condition

2.7 Safety Training
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of
Wallenstein products. Unfortunately, efforts to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act.
•
It is the operator's responsibility to read,
understand and follow ALL safety and
operation instructions in this manual.
•
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 instructions is not
qualified to use the machine. An untrained operator can
cause possible serious injury or death.
•
Know the tractor controls and how to stop the machine
quickly in an emergency.
•
If this machine is used by any other person, loaned or
rented, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that
prior to using, every operator:
