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)
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

Implement may cause serious injury or death.
