SAFETY
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)
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-
over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or
even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.
(SG-7)
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.
(SG-29)
Movement of the backhoe boom, stabilizers and attachment can create pinch points that
can cause serious crushing injuries. Only operate the backhoe controls while seated in the
operator’s seat. Keep your hands, arms and legs inside the operator’s zone. Stop operating
the backhoe if any bystanders or coworkers come within 25 feet of the backhoe.
(SBH-42)
Keep bystanders 25 feet away from the tractor and backhoe while
operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items
could fall from the backhoe resulting in serious injury to the bystander.
Position a barricade perimeter around the work area. Stop operating the
backhoe if any person enters the work area.
(SBH-14)
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation.
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.
(SG-32)
Never dig with backhoe unless stabilizers are lowered and properly seated. Do not dig
under stabilizers or tractor with backhoe. Soft ground or sandy soil could cause cave in and
tractor rollover.
