Safety 5
RD 54/60/72 (Rev. 1/13/2006)
Make certain all movement of equipment com-
ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-
vice.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body under-
neath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless
or improper handling may result in serious injury.
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
Wear gloves when installing belt. Be careful to
prevent fingers from being caught between belt
and pulley.
Use care when installing or removing belt from
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-
sonal injury.
STORAGE
Follow manual instructions for storage.
Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
