Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.12219 - Protection from spillage, pinch points, and power take-offs
Rule 2219.
(1)
Covers, caps, and breathers for batteries, fuel tanks, oil reservoirs, and
coolant systems shall be kept in place.
(2) Any pinch point or shear point created by
the tractor or the attachments, or both, that creates a hazard, to which an
operator in the normal operating position is exposed, shall be
guarded.
(3) A tractor having a
power take-off shaft shall be equipped with a master shield on the power
take-off shaft, except as permitted in subrule (4). The shield shall have a
strength capable of preventing permanent deformation when a 250-pound operator
mounts or dismounts the tractor using the shield as a step.
(4) Power take-off-driven equipment shall be
guarded to prevent employee contact with the positively driven, rotating member
of the power-driven system. Where power take-off-driven equipment is of a
design requiring the removal of the master shield, the attaching equipment
shall include protection from that portion of the tractor power take-off shaft
that protrudes from the tractor.
