6. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A
WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow
these safety precautions.
ONLY trained and authorized personnel should be allowed to operate and service this machine.
Follow all safety rules, precautions and instructions when operating or performing maintenance on the machine.
The owner and/or operator must replace any and all safety and warning product graphics if they are defaced or
removed from the machine.
Think before you act. Careful operators and service personnel are the best insurance against accidents.
Do not rush. Hurrying can lead to accidents. Haste, carelessness and lack of training are the primary causes of
equipment related injuries.
The operator must be alert, physically fit and free from the influences of alcohol, drugs and medications that
might affect his eyesight, hearing or reactions.
Safety must always be the operator's most important concern. He must refuse to operate when he knows it is
unsafe and consult his supervisor when safety is in doubt.
When working with another operator or a person on work site traffic duty, be sure all personnel understand all
hand signals that are to be used.
Be sure all guards and covers are in their proper position. Be sure to replace them after servicing the machine.
Have guards and covers repaired immediately if damaged.
Use safety features such as safety lock lever and seat belt properly.
A seat belt is required by OSHA in almost all applications.
DO NOT operate this machine without a seat belt.
NEVER remove any safety features. ALWAYS keep them in good operating condition.
