Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use
of mower caddies. As manufacturers of mower caddies, we want to
conrm to you, our customers, our concern for safety. We also want to
remind you about the simple, basic, and common sense rules of safety
when using a mower caddy. Failure to follow these rules can result in
severe injury or death to operators or bystanders.
It is essential that everyone involved in the assembly, operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of this equipment be aware,
concerned, prudent, and properly trained in safety. The majority of
accidents involve entanglement on the driveline or thrown objects.
These risks become greater when you do not use proper shielding
specied by the manufacturer.
Our current production machines include, as standard equipment,
guards or shields for drivelines and input shafts, safety signs and
operators manuals. If you have an older machine which does not have
current standard safety equipment, please contact your dealer about
bringing your machine up to the current level of safety.
Below are some of the most important safety rules to be understood
and followed by anyone who works with mower caddies:
Before operating a mower caddy, an operator must read and understand
all the information in the owner’s manual and in the safety signs
attached to the product. A person who has not read or understood the
owner’s manual and safety signs is not qualied to operate the unit.
Accidents occur often on machines that are loaned or rented to someone
who has not read the owner’s manual and is not familiar with the
equipment. If you do not have an owner’s manual or current production
safety signs, contact the manufacturer or your dealer immediately.
Mower caddies are designed for one-man operation. Never operate the
caddy with anyone near, or in contact with, any part of the implement or
PTO driveline. Be sure no one else, including bystanders, is near you
when you operate this product.
Following these simple, basic safety rules, as well as others identied
in the owner’s manual and in product safety signs, will help minimize
the possibility of accidents and increase your productivity in using this
product. Be careful and make sure that everyone who operates the caddy
knows and understands that it is a very powerful piece of machinery,
and if used improperly, serious injury or death may result. The nal
responsibility for safety rests with the operator of this machine.
