SAFETY
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 safe operation of the
tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate
the controls easily.
(SG-11)
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)
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)
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and fuel are
expensive 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.
(SG-23)
Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause
Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.
(SG-26)
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat with
the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or Implement
may cause serious injury or death.
