Chapter 1: Safety

1.1 Signal Words

Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Signal
words are selected using the following guidelines:

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. It
may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It
may be used to alert against unsafe practices.

214713 1 Revision A

SAFETY

1.2 General Safety

CAUTION

The following are general farm safety precautions that
should be part of your operating procedure for all types
of machinery.

Protect yourself.

• When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery,
wear all protective clothing and personal safety devices
that could be necessary for job at hand. Do NOT take
chances. You may need the following:

• Hard hat

• Protective footwear with slip-resistant soles

• Protective glasses or goggles

• Heavy gloves

• Wet weather gear

• Respirator or filter mask

• Be aware that exposure to loud noises can cause hearing

impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing protection
devices such as earmuffs or earplugs to help protect
against loud noises.

• Provide a first aid kit for use in case of emergencies.

1000004

Figure 1.1: Safety Equipment

1000005

Figure 1.2: Safety Equipment

• Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be sure fire
extinguisher is properly maintained. Be familiar with its
proper use.

• Keep young children away from machinery at all times.

• Be aware that accidents often happen when Operator is

tired or in a hurry. Take time to consider safest way.
Never ignore warning signs of fatigue.

1000009

SAFETY

• Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.

• Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety
equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate
independently of shaft and can telescope freely.

• Use only service and repair parts made or approved by
equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not meet
strength, design, or safety requirements.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from moving
parts. NEVER attempt to clear obstructions or objects
from a machine while engine is running.

• Do NOT modify machine. Unauthorized modifications
may impair machine function and/or safety. It may also
shorten machine’s life.

Figure 1.4: Safety around Equipment

• To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of
machine, ALWAYS stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for
any reason.

• Keep service area clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with
electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and
tools are properly grounded.

• Keep work area well lit.

• Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff on a hot engine is

a fire hazard. Do NOT allow oil or grease to accumulate
on service platforms, ladders, or controls. Clean
machines before storage.

• NEVER use gasoline, naphtha, or any volatile material for
cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or
flammable.

• When storing machinery, cover sharp or extending
components to prevent injury from accidental contact.

SAFETY

1.3 Tire Safety

WARNING

• Service tires safely.

• A tire can explode during inflation which could cause

serious injury or death.

• Follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a
wheel or rim. Failure to do so can produce an
explosion that may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

• Do NOT stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose.

1000020

Figure 1.7: Overinflated Tire

• Do NOT exceed maximum inflation pressure indicated
on tire label.

• Replace tires that have defects.

• Replace wheel rims that are cracked, worn, or

severely rusted.

• Never weld a wheel rim.

• Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire.

• Make sure tire is correctly seated before inflating to

operating pressure.

• If tire is not correctly positioned on rim or is overinflated, tire bead can loosen on one side causing air
to escape at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust tire in any direction
endangering anyone in area.

• Make sure all air is removed from tire before removing tire from rim.

• Do NOT remove, install, or repair a tire on a rim unless you have proper equipment and experience to

perform job.

• Take tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop.

1.4 Safety Signs

• Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.

• Replace safety signs that are missing or illegible.

• If original part on which a safety sign was installed is

replaced, be sure repair part also bears current
safety sign.

• Safety signs are available from your MacDon Dealer.
