SAFETY
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
(SG-31)
The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes,
safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury
including injury from items that may be thrown by the equipment.
(SG-16)
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)
Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including crystalline silica,
could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including silicosis. Concrete,
masonry, many types of rock, and various other materials contain silica sand.
California lists respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer.
Operation of this equipment under certain conditions may generate airborne dust
particles that could contain crystalline silica. In those conditions, personal
protective equipment including an appropriate respirator must be used. If
excessive dust is generated, a dust collection or suppression system should also
be used during operation.
(SG-41)
Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and when
removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing. Use a
ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from ground level. Slipping and
falling can cause serious injury or death.
(SG-33)
Use caution and wear protective gloves when handling sharp objects such as blades, knives, and
other cutting edges. Be alert to worn component surfaces which have sharp edges. Sharp surfaces
can inflict severe laceration injuries if proper hand protection is not worn.
