SAFETY TRAINING
z
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our prod-
uct. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.
z
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, trans-
port, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
z
It has been said, “ The best safety device is an informed, careful opera-
tor.” We ask you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s responsi-
bility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow them. Accidents can be avoided.
z
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read
this manual, and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operat-
ing, to acquaint yourself with the machines. If this machine is used by any
person other than you, or is loaned or rented, it is the rotary tiller owner’s
responsibility to make certain that the owner's manual be available to the
operator prior to operating:
1- Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2- Is instructed in safe and proper use.
z Know your controls and how to stop the tractor, engine, and tiller quickly
in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your trac-
tor.
z
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing
workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will
operate the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine.
An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible seri-
ous injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their physi-
cal limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.
