(SG-10)
DANGER!
Never allow children to operate or ride on the Tractor or Implement.
(SGM-11)
WARNING!
Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is
moving. Mount the Tractor only when the
Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped.
(SG-12)
DANGER!
Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13)
DANGER!
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or
any lifted component unless the Implement is
securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden
or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death. (SG-14)
WARNING!
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 thrown by
the equipment. (SG-16)
DANGER!
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil
leaking. Oil is expensive and its presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or
cardboard. High-pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could
penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil
does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
CAUTION!
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PER-
MANENT 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)
