Safety Section 1-14

SAFETY

Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in
motion or while tractor engine is running.

(SG-20)

Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when

necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn

or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have

cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining

this machine in good working order.

(SG-21)

Do Not fill fuel tank while engine is running. Refuel only after engine has cooled down. If

fuel is spilled, move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source

of ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.

(SG-28)

Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the

unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts are

properly torqued. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this Implement in good

operating condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even

death.

(SG-35)

Use caution and wear protective gloves when handling sharp objects such as blades,

knives, and other cutting edges. Be alert to worn component surfaces which have sharp

edges. Sharp surfaces can inflict severe laceration injuries if proper hand protection is not

worn.

(SG-37)

All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not lim-

ited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox

Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should

be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety

devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or

broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be

replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from

thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact.

(SGM-3)

Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN,

WELD, OR WELD HARDFACING ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR

OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE

SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
