SG100 Safety Rules (Rev. 6/16/2006)
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
Avoid contact with electrical wires.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,
and ensure all other controls are disengaged
before starting power unit engine.
Shift tractor transmission into park or neutral
and set brakes before engaging PTO and grinding.
Do not operate PTO during transport.
Do not operate auxiliary hydraulics during
transport.
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
Use extreme care when working close to fences,
ditches, other obstructions, or on hillsides.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn
off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO.
NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath 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 unexpectedly and cause severe
injury or death.
• Service work does not require going under-
neath.
• Read Operator's Manual for service instruc-
tions or have service performed by a qualified
dealer.
TRANSPORTATION
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without this
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
Reduce transport speed to avoid bouncing and
brief loss of steering control.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Turn off power to unit before transporting.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
MAINTENANCE
Service and maintenance work not covered in
OWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualified
dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety proce-
dures may be required. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn
off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-
nents in any way.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-
ing equipment.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Never perform service or maintenance with
engine running.
