(continued)

Never operate the tractor and cutter until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Tractor
Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and cutter.

Clear area to be cut of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

Ensure cutter is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.

Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin or balls operate freely and are seated firmly in tractor PTO
stub shaft groove.

Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.

Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.

Operate the cutter only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS).  Always
wear your seat belt on tractors equipped with a ROPS. Serious injury or even death could result from falling
off the tractor ---particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS or the
tractor.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without Cutters attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss.
We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s position
exceeds 80db.  Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, 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.
