INTRODUCTION

AVOID ACCIDENTS

Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home or

on the highway, are caused by the failure of some individuals to follow
simple and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason
MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED by recognising the real
cause and doing something about it before the accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type
of equipment there are conditions that cannot be completely safeguarded
against without interfering with reasonable accessibility and efficient
operation.
Carefully read indications, cautions and safety warning quoted in the
“SAFETY RULES” section.
A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident.
The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many
thousand serious injuries each year.
That rule is:
Never attempt to clean, oil or adjust a machine while it is in motion.

ATTENTION

On machines having hydraulically, mechanically and/or cable

controlled equipment (such as showels, loaders, dozers, scrapers
etc.) be certain the equipment is lowered to the ground before
servicing, adjusting and/or repairing. If it is necessary to have the
equipment partially or fully raised to gain access to certain items,
be sure the equipment is suitably supported by means other than
the hydraulic lift cylinders, cable and/or mechanical device used
for controlling the equipment.
