STATEMENT

OF POLICY

It is the policy of Farm Star

to improve its products

where it is possible and practical

to do so. Farm Star

reserves the right to make

changes or improvements in

design and construction at any

time, without incurring the oblig-

ation to make these changes on

previously manufactured units.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MOST ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE OF NEGLECT OR CARELESSNESS.

AVOID NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS BY FOLLOWING ALL OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW.

• Machinery should be operated only by those who

are responsible and are authorized to do so.

• Stop the engine, lower all equipment, lock the

brakes, and remove the ignition key before dis-

mounting from the tractor.

• Never stand between tractor and implement while

tractor is being backed to hitch.

• Loose fitting clothing should not be worn, to avoid

catching on various parts.

• Detach implement in area where children normally

do not play.

• When performing adjustments or maintenance on

an implement, first lower it to the ground or block it

securely at a workable height.

• Only a qualified operator should be permitted on

tractor when in operation; no riders allowed.

• Make certain everyone is in the clear before starting

tractor or raising or lowering equipment.

• Operate the tractor and implement only while

seated in the driver’s seat.

• Reduce speed when transporting mounted

implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss

of steering control.

• A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor.

Use extreme care during road travel. Slow down on

turns and watch out for bumps. Tractor may need

front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight

of the implement.

• Reduce speed on hillsides or curves so there is no

danger of tipping.

• Avoid driving too close to the edge of ditches or

creeks.

• Do not transport implement on public roads without

reflectors and slow moving vehicle emblem in

daylight and with approved warning lights at night

and other periods of poor visibility.

• Due to the width of some implements, use extra

caution on highways, farm roads, and when

approaching gates.

• Always be sure the implement is in the proper

position for transport.

• Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear

when working with the implement.
