SAFETY
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement
attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss. We recommend that
you always wear hearing protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise
over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause permanent or
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.
(SG-I7)
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in
motion or while tractor engine is running. Make sure the tractor engine is off before working
on the Implement.
(SG-20)
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn
or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have
cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining
this machine in good working order.
