Operator Safety Instructions and Practices

Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit

chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

(SG-30)

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,

chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

(SG-31)

Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and

completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and

each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and

Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an

emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to

operate the Tractor and Implement without supervision. Make sure the

operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.

(SG-4)

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 that may be thrown by

the equipment.

(SG-16)

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 manufacturer’s

instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other

chemical agent.
