Safety Information
®
BE AWARE OF THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates potential hazards to personal safety and
extra safety precautions must be taken. When you observe this symbol, be alert
and carefully read any messages that follow it. In addition to design and
configuration of the equipment, hazard control, and accident avoidance are
dependent upon the awareness, caution, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, maintenance, transportation, and storage of
equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words A signal word designates a degree or a level of
hazard seriousness. The signal words are:
Danger Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in
serious injury or death.
Warning Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result
in serious injury or death.
Caution Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result
in minor to moderate injury.
TRACTOR SHUTDOWN & STORAGE
· If engaged, disengage PTO, park machine and implements on solid, level
ground and lower implement to the ground or onto additional support blocks. ·
Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off the engine, and remove switch
key to prevent any unauthorized starting. · Relieve all hydraulic pressure to
auxiliary hydraulic lines. ·Do not leave the operator’s seat until all
components have stopped. · Use steps, grab-handles, and anti-slip surfaces
when stepping on and off the tractor. · Detach and store implement in an area
where children do not normally play. Secure the implement using blocks,
supports, or wedges.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHILDREN
Tragedy and injury can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
children.
· Keep all children out of the work area and under the watchful eye of a
responsible adult that is not the operator of the equipment.
· Be alert and turn off the implement and tractor if children should enter the
work area.
· Never allow children to climb or ride on the tractor or the implement at any
time. There is no safe place on the machine for a rider. They may fall off and
be run over or interfere with the operator’s ability to control the machine.
· Never allow children to operate the power machine or implement, even under
adult supervision.
· Use extreme caution when operating in reverse. Before the tractor starts to
move, look down and behind to ensure the area is clear.
SAFETY AT ALL TIMES
Your best assurance against an accident or injury is the careful operation of
all equipment. All operators, no matter their experience, should carefully
read this manual and other related documents, or have the manuals read to them
before operating the power machine and any Homestead Implements product.
· Thoroughly read the “Safety Information” section and understand all
instructions noted on them. · Never operate the equipment or implements while
under the influence of drugs or alcohol. · Operator should be familiar with
all functions of the tractor and the attached implement. · Ensure all correct
guards and shields are in place and securely fastened before operating
implement. · Keep any and all bystanders away from attached equipment and the
work area. · Only start tractor from the driver’s seat with the hydraulic
controls in neutral. · Never dismount from a moving tractor or leave the
tractor running and unattended. · Never allow anyone to stand between the
tractor or the implement while backing up to the implement. · Keep hands,
feet, and any loose clothing away from power-driven parts. · While
transporting and operating equipment, be sure to watch for overhead objects as
well as fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc. · Do not make exceedingly tight
turns as it may cause the hitched implement to ride up on the tractor’s rear
wheels. · Store all implements in an area where children do not play. When
needed, secure the attachment against falling or rolling with support blocks
or wedges.

Safety Information

USING A SAFETY CHAIN
·A safety chain will help the machine control the hitched implement should it
separate from the tractor drawbar.
·Always hitch the implement to the machine towing it, do not use the safety
chain alone to tow the implement.
·Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than the complete
gross weight of the towed implement.
·Attach the safety chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Only allow enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
ALWAYS TRANSPORT SAFELY
· Always comply with federal, state, and local laws when towing equipment.
· Be aware and avoid any contact with overhead utility lines or electrically
charged conductors. · Use towing vehicles and trailers of adequate size and
capability only. · Secure all equipment on trailer with appropriate tie downs
and chains.
· Sudden and drastic braking can cause a towed trailer to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed when in transit if the attached trailer does not have independent
brakes.
· Always drive with the load on the end of leader arms low to the ground.
· Always drive straight up and down steep inclines with the heavy end of a
tractor or implement with loader attachment on the “uphill” side.
· Always engage parking brake when stopped on an incline.
· IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of the
vehicle towing the load.
SAFE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
·Understand procedures before doing any work. Refer to Operator’s Manual for
additional information and to confirm that any work done will not void the
Homestead Implements Warranty. · Work on a level surface in a clean dry area
that is well-lit. · Lower implement to the ground and follow the shutdown
procedures before leaving the machine’s operator seat to perform any
maintenance. · Use properly grounded electrical outlets and tools and only use
tools that are in good operating condition. · Allow equipment to cool
completely before performing any work on it. · Do not work under any hydraulic
supported equipment. Implement can settle, suddenly leak down, or be lowered
accidentally. If it is necessary to work underneath the equipment, securely
support it with stands and suitable blocking beforehand. · Disconnect battery
ground cable (-) before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before
welding on the implement. · Replace parts on this implement with real
Homestead Implements parts only. Do not alter this implement in a way which
will adversely affect its performance. · Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris. · Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation. · Inspect
all parts and ensure that the parts are in good condition & installed
properly. · Always be sure that any material and waste from the repair and
maintenance of the implement are properly collected and disposed of. · Remove
all tools and unused parts before operating the implement. · Do not weld or
torch on galvanized metal as it will release toxic and dangerous fumes.

Safety Information

SEAT BELTS AND ROPS
· Homestead Implements recommends the use of a CAB or a roll-overprotective-
structures (ROPS) and seat belt in nearly all power machines. The combination
of a CAB, ROPS, and a seat belt will reduce the risk of serious injury or
death if the power machine should be upset. · If ROPS is in the locked
position, fasten seat belt snugly and securely to protect against serious
injury or death from falling and machine overturn.
BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES
· Be prepared for a fire, should one start.
· Always keep a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher handy.
· Keep a list of emergency numbers for a doctor, hospitals, fire department,
and ambulances near or on your personal phone.
USING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PPE) · Always wear protective equipment and clothing appropriate for the job
such as safety shoes, earplugs, hard hats, and safety glasses.
· Clothing should fit snug without fringes and pull strings. This is to avoid
dangerous entangling with moving parts.
· Operating equipment safely requires the operator’s full attention. Avoid
wearing headphones while operating and maintaining equipment.
· Prolonged exposure to excessive noise can cause hearing impairment and
hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earplugs or earmuffs.
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARDS
· Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. · Relieve all residual pressure from the hydraulic system before
disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing any work on the system itself. ·
Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all lines are in good
condition before applying any pressure to the system. · NEVER USE BODY PARTS
to check for suspected leaks. Always use a piece of paper or cardboard
instead. · Wear protective gloves and safety glasses before doing any work on
hydraulic systems. · DO NOT DELAY REPORTING AN ACCIDENT. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin or eyes
must be treated immediately.
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES
· DIG SAFE, CALL 811 (USA).
· Always contact your local utility companies (electrical, telephone, gas,
water, sewer, and others) before digging or using any implement so that they
may mark the location of any underground services in the area. · Always ask
how close to the marked area you can work.
KEEP RIDERS OFF MACHINERY
· Never allow riders on the tractor or implement while in use.
· Riders can obstruct the operator’s view and interfere with their ability to
control the power machine.
· Riders can be struck by objects or be thrown from the equipment.
· Never use tractor or implements to lift or transport riders.
