SAFETY
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they
have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in
proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large
enough to reach and operate the controls easily.
(SG-11)
Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor
only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.
(SG-12)
Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions.
(SG-13)
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and
fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do not
check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from breaks in
the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including
gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE OFF and
remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves, safety
glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you
suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil
does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
(SG-15)
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.
(SG-23)
Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause
Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.
(SG-26)
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or
Implement may cause serious injury or death.
