Not all tractors have the same or equivalent safety features when new. Tractor operators need to know these features and how they work, as well as how to use them and maintain them. Safety features that have been allowed to deteriorate and become ineffective are a hazard. The operator assumes the protection is there, depends on it and is at greater risk if it is missing. Owners and operators of tractors need to know that it is their responsibility to maintain safety decals in good condition.
Owners are responsible for providing safe equipment for their employees.
The decals are there to provide important safety information about the tractor and its safety features. Most are caused, directly or indirectly, by carelessness and unnecessary hurry. Wash. D.C.

Anderson, Director, Fargo, North Dakota. Distributed in furtherance of the Acts of Congress of May 8 and June 30, 1914.
