SAFETY
Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and completely
understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety
Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement. Learn how to
stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow inexperienced or
untrained personnel to operate the Tractor or Implement without supervision.
Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to
operation.
(SG-4)
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 proper operation of the tractor and
Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls
easily.
(SG-11)
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the
Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the Implement to shift
or fall crushing themselves or others.
(SG-25)
DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the Tractor
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 Tractor 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.
(SG-27)
Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s instructions when
handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical agent.
(SG-22)
Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
(SG-30)
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes
can be hazardous to your health.
