SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling equipment.You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this
section. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you,
follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with
a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
To prevent injury or death, use a power unit equipped with a Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS). Do not paint
over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning signs on your equipment. Observe all safety signs and
practice the instruction on them.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question –
DON’T TRY IT.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and
could affect the life of the equipment.
In addition to the design and configuration of this implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment,
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also
to Safety Messages and Operation Instructions in each of the appropriate sections of the power unit and
implement manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the power unit and the implement.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety sign that is not readable or is missing.
Location of such safety signs is indicated in this booklet.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-
sons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.
EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES

How to Install Safety Signs:
SAFETY SIGNS
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the manual and to follow these. Accidents
can be avoided.
Know your controls and how to stop skid steer, engine, and attachment quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with your skid steer.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A person who has not read
and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
Read this manual, and the manual for your skid steer, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with
the machines. It is the owner’s responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is
loaned or rented, to make certain that the operator, prior to operating:
1. Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
SAFETY TRAINING

stop engine and remove key from ignition. Park in level area.
Mixer operating power is supplied from skid steer hydraulic system. Refer to your skid steer manual for
hydraulic engagement and disengagement instructions. Know how to stop skid steer and mixer quickly in case
of an emergency.
Mixer should be lifted off the ground before engaging hydraulic power and be sure that no one is near the
machine. When engaging hydraulic system, the RPM should always be low.
Be certain the skid steer is in neutral or park position before starting engine.
Do not leave the skid steer and attachment unattended with the engine running.
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Keep all helpers and bystanders at least twenty (20) feet from an operating mixer. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.
STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY
OPERA
TIONAL SAFETY

depend on the hydraulic system to hold the mixer attachment in place.
A heavy load can cause instability of the skid steer. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. The skid steer may need additional counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the
mixer.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the skid steer or mixer attachment at any
time. ALLOW NO RIDERS!
