SAFETY
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.
(SG-I7)
Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturers instructions when
handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical agent.
(SG-22)
KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement and
possible serious injury or death.
(SG-24)
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the
Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing
themselves or others.
(SG-25)
NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the Tractor
and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and
coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to operate the equipment
safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement, an operator on prescription
or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding
any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate the
Equipment safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment
when their alertness or coordination is impaired.
Serious injury or death to the
operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or
alcohol.
(SG-27)
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation. Take
scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating conditions. Never
operate the Implement and Tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state which impairs proper and
safe operation.
