Operator Safety Instructions and Practices
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been
turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has
been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has
ceased

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 or 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.
(SG-22)
KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent
entanglement and possible serious injury or death.
(SG-24)
