DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the
Power Unit 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 Power Unit 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.
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation.
Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating
conditions. Never operate the Implement and Power Unit in a fatigued or bored mental state
which impairs proper and safe operation.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.
Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface
or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.
(SG-34)
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Power Unit that is not properly maintained. Should a
mechanical or Power Unit control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the
Power Unit and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible
death could occur from not maintaining this Implement and Power Unit in good operating
Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing. Entanglement of the
clothing with the rotating elements can result in serious injury or even death. Stay clear of
all rotating elements at all times.
(SSP-03)
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underwater or underground lines or cables. Contact with

(STL-1)
In wet conditions where there is a likelihood of material collecting on the Implement, make
certain that this material is removed before traveling on public roadways.
(STL-7)
Do not approach the Implement while in motion. Use extreme care near the drive unit to
keep your hands or feet clear of the rotating shaft and drive chain. Contact with the rotating
items can result in serious injury or even death. Stay clear until the implement is securely
parked and all motion has stopped.
