Ellington Cites Grave
Danger of Injury by
Improper Tractor Use
Tractors are involved in over
half of the form machinery acci
dents, according to Ed Ellington,
Wakelon Agriculture teacher. The
principal ( causes involve falling
from, or being thrown off the
tractor, overturning, unguarded
power take-off shafts and viola
tion of traffic rules when operat
ing on the highway.
The National Safety Council
points out that safe operation of
the 3 million tractors now used on
farms could save hundreds of
lives and thousands of serious in
juries annually.
You cannot afford to gamble the
loss of a limb or life by operating
without the power take-off shield
in pl ace - Carelessness in handling
tractors around ditches can start
a trip to the hospital. Jumping
off a tractor or making adjust
ments while in motion is another
way to invite an accident. You
can easily lose a child by permit
ting children to operate or hitch
a ride on tractors.
Never refuel a tractor while the
motor is running or extremely
hot. Avoid leaky fuel lines and
accumulations of combustible ma
terials near hot manifolds or ex
hausts. Store tractor fuels safe
ly and always have a fire extin
guisher available for an accidental
fire.
When operating on the highway,
always obey traffic rules and avoid
excessive speeds.
