TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
2. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS
Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and
understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor
operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual,
safety decals are affixed to the implement and tractor. If any part of the operation and safe use of this
equipment is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation.
If the operator cannot read the manuals for themselves or does not completely understand the operation of the
equipment, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to read and explain the manuals, safety practices, and
operating instructions to the operator.
Safe operation of equipment requires that the operator wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
for the job conditions when attaching, operating, servicing, and repairing the equipment. PPE is designed to
provide operator protection and includes the following safety wear:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
• Protective Eye Glasses, Goggles, or Face
Shield
• Hard Hat
• Steel Toe Safety Footwear
• Gloves
• Hearing Protections
• Close Fitting Clothing
• Respirator or Filter Mask (depends on mowing
conditions) OPS-U- 0002
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.
