DANGER!
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)
DANGER!
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 Imple-
ment, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must
consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medi-
cation 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. (SG-27)
WARNING!
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)
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and
when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing.
Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from gound level.
Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death. (SG-33)
WARNING!
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and hose
connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Use
gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid
can cause serious injury from burns or scalding. (SG-34)
DANGER!
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a
mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the Tractor
and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could occur
from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition. (SG-36)
