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 safe 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.

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 tractor 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)
The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, sa

ety
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for
protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the equipment.
