3.6 PREPARATION
1. Do not use the unit until you have read and
completely understand this manual and each
of the Safety Messages found on the safety
signs on the unit.
2. Personal protection equipment including
hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes and
gloves are recommended during the
assembly, installation, operation, adjustment,
maintenance, repair, removal, cleaning, or
moving of the unit. Do not allow long hair,
loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around
equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Power equipment with or without equipment
attached can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent or partial hearing loss. We
recommend that you
wear hearing protection
at all times if the noise in
the Operator’s position
exceed 80db. Noise over
85db, over time, can cause
severe hearing loss. Noise
over 90db adjacent to the
operator over a long period of time 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.
4. Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
5. Make sure that the machine is properly
mounted, adjusted and in good using
condition.
6. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs
are properly installed and in good condition.
