Reviewthe safety instructions with all users annually.

6. This equipment is dangerous to children andpersons unfamiliar with its operation. Theoperator should be a responsible, properlytrained and physically able person familiarwith farm machinery and trained in thisequipment's operations. If the elderly areassisting with farm work, their physical limita-tions need to be recognized and accommo-dated.

7. Use a tractor equipped with a Roll OverProtective Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt.

8. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machin-ery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,is in question - DON'T TRY IT.

9. Do not modify the equipment in any way.Unauthorized modification result in seriousinjury or death and may impair the functionand life of the equipment.

10. In addition to the design and configuration ofthis implement, including Safety Signs andSafety Equipment, hazard control and acci-dent prevention are dependent upon theawareness, concern, prudence, and propertraining of personnel involved in the operation,transport, maintenance, and storage of themachine. Refer also to Safety Messages andoperation instruction in each of the appropri-ate sections of the Tractor and machineManuals. Pay close attention to the SafetySigns affixed to the Tractor and the machine.

2.3 SAFETY TRAINING

1. Safety is a primary concern in the design andmanufacture of our products. Unfortunately,our efforts to provide safe equipment can bewiped out by a single careless act of anoperator or bystander.

2. In addition to the design and configuration ofequipment, hazard control and accidentprevention are dependent upon the aware-ness, concern, prudence and proper trainingof personnel involved in the operation, trans-port, maintenance and storage of this equip-ment.

3. It has been said, "The bestsafety feature is an in-formed, careful operator."We ask you to be that kindof an operator. It is theoperator's responsibility to read and under-stand ALL Safety and Operating instructionsin the manual and to follow these. Accidentscan be avoided.

4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead tocareless injuries. Read this manual, and themanual for your tractor, before assembly oroperating, to acquaint yourself with themachines.
