Safety Measures - Swissmex 641001 Manual De Operador

2.2 SAFETY MEASURES

Prevent accidents that can be caused by poor understanding or by not following the security measures established in this manual.
Read this instruction manual carefully before using your equipment.
Serious accidents can occur if the equipment is used incorrectly or if it is used by an untrained person.
Do not change or modify this product; doing so can jeopardize your equipment and can compromise your safety as well as the safety of
others. You assume the risk for any changes or modifications performed, and these alterations will make the warranty invalid.
Do not allow children, the elderly, people with special abilities, or animals near the equipment while it is in use, being maintained, or even
when it is in storage.
Always keep the equipment in perfect running condition.
When transporting your equipment, make sure it is properly connected to the tractor that is towing it. Do not exceed 25 km/h (15 mph).
If your work requires you to travel on federal or state roads, follow all road rules.
Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts.
Make sure your equipment is on flat and firm ground when you disconnect it.
The operator must not be impaired by or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. This is very dangerous.
Always wear protective goggles to safeguard against errant materials.
Use all protective equipment recommended by the fertilizer's manufacturer.
When spreading fertilizer or seed, no people should be near the fertilizer—only the person operating the tractor.
Never make modifications that affect the way the equipment functions or try to improvise repairs.
When performing maintenance, always disconnect the equipment from the tractor.
When traveling on roadways, place signals on the back of the equipment.
Never activate the PTO with the equipment on the ground; make sure the equipment is a minimum of 50cm (20in) from the ground.
If you are going to make a long trip with the fertilizer attached to the tractor, make sure the hopper is empty.
Clean the hopper after each use to prevent caking.
Never use the hopper if there are any liquid residues in the hopper.
Never use damp material in the hopper.
Never attempt to spread moist fertilizer or seeds, as spreading will be difficult, and the
equipment may become damaged.
WARNING
Follow all instructions on the labels attached to your equipment
