SAFETY
DANGER! Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions.
(SG-13)
DANGER! Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component
unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent
sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even
death.
(SG-14)
WARNING! The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for
protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the
equipment.
(SG-16)
SAFETY
DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is
expensive and its presence could present a hazard. Do not check for
leaks with your hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard. High-
pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin
and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil does penetrate
the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician
knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
(SG-15)
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an
Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent
hearing loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing
protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe
hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an
extended period of time will cause permanent or total hearing loss.
Note: Hearing loss from loud noise [from tractors, chain saws,
radios, and other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a
lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
