Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting

hydraulic lines.

Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to

check for suspected leaks.

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when

working with hydraulic systems.

If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention

from a physician familiar with this type of injury.

Use A Safety Chain

Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery should

it separate from tractor drawbar.

Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than

the gross weight of towed machinery.

Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or other specified

anchor location. Allow only enough slack in chain to permit
turning.

Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,

stretched or damaged.

Do not use safety chain for towing.

Keep Riders Off Machinery

Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be struck

by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.

Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.

Wear Protective Equipment

Wear protective clothing and equipment.
Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid

loose-fitting clothing.

Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hear-

ing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing pro-
tection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

Because operating equipment safely requires your full

attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.
