1、 ANSI/ASAE S351 FEB1972 (R2017) Hand Signals for Use in Agriculture American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological sys
2、tems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water resource manag
3、ement, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by anyone engaged in industry
4、or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protectin
5、g themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering Practices and Da
6、ta approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other cr
7、iteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily un
8、animity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures of ASABE require that action be taken periodically to reaff
9、irm, revise, or withdraw each standard. Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. All rights reserved.

Keywords: Communication, Hand, Safety, Signals 1 Purpose and scope 1.1 This
13、 Standard provides for hand signals to be used in agricultural operations especially when noise or distance precludes the use of normal voice communication. 1.2 The purpose of the hand signals is to provide an easy means of communication, particularly in the interest of safety. 2 General 2.1 These h
14、and signals are in general agreement with U.S. Army Field Manual, FM21-60, Section II, Standard Arm and Hand Signals. Many of them are also used in construction and other industries where noise or distance precludes the use of voice communications. 3 Hand signals (Figures 111) ANSI/ASAE S351 FEB1972

Figure 2 COME TO ME Raise the arm vertically overhead, a palm to the front, and rotate in large h
16、orizontal circles. Figure 3 MOVE TOWARD ME FOLLOW ME Point toward person(s), vehicle(s), or unit(s), beckon by holding the arm horizontally to the front, palm up, and motioning toward the body. Figure 4 MOVE OUT TAKE OFF Face the desired direction of movement; hold the arm extended to the rear; then
17、 swing it overhead and forward in the direction of desired movement until it is horizontal, palm down. Figure 5 STOP Raise hand upward to the full extent of the arm, palm to the front. Hold that position until the signal is understood. Figure 6 SPEED IT UP INCREASE SPEED Raise the hand to the should
18、er, fist closed; thrust the fist upward to the full extent of the arm and back to the shoulder rapidly several times.

Figure 8 START THE ENGINE Simulate cranking of vehicles by moving arm in a circular motion at waist level. Figure 9 STOP THE ENGINE Draw right hand, palm down, across the neck in a throat cutting motion from left to right. Figure 10 LOWER EQUIPMENT Make circular motion with either hand pointing to the ground. Figure 11 RAISE EQUIPMENT Make circular motion with either hand at head level.
