Dealer’s Signature Purchaser’s Signature Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE FOR OWNERS/OPERATORS OF ROTARY CUTTERS From members of the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association’s Rotary Cutter Manufacturer Product Council Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of rotary cutters. As manufacturers of rotary cutters, we want to conﬁrm 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 rotary cutter. 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 speciﬁed 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 rotary cutters: Before operating a rotary cutter, 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 qualiﬁed to operate the cutter. 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 a rotary cutter. If you do not have an owner’s manual or current production safety signs, contact the manufacturer or your dealer immediately. Rotary cutters are designed for one-man operation. Never operate the cutter 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 If operation of a rotary cutter around bystanders, animals, or property that may sustain damage (such as highway, park, or airport) is absolutely necessary, use safety guarding recommended by the manufacturer for thrown object prevention (such as chain guards) . Following these simple, basic safety rules, as well as others identiﬁed in the owner’s manual and in product safety signs, will help minimi
