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-22)
KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement
and possible serious injury or death.
(SG-24)
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall
crushing themselves or others.
(SG-25)
NEVER 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.

Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating
conditions. Never operate the Implement and Tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state which impairs proper
and safe operation.
