1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS
Safe operation of the Rhino Lumberjack 60 and Lumberjack 72 (LJ60/72) Heavy-Duty Tree Cutter is the
responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands both the cutter and tractor
Operator Manuals and is experienced in tractor and cutter operations and all associated safety practices. In
addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety message decals are affixed to the cutter and
tractor. If any part of the operation and safe use of the cutter and tractor is not completely understood, consult an
authorized dealer for a full explanation.
Safe cutter operation requires that the operator wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the job
conditions while connecting, operating, servicing and repairing the cutter and tractor. PPE is designed to provide
operator protection from bodily injury and includes the following:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
" Protective eye glasses, goggles, or face shield
" Hard hat
" Steel toed safety footwear
" Gloves
" Hearing protection
" Close fitting clothing

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.
