INTRODUCTION

DO NOT 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 Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication 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)

Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Never walk or work under any raised boom or bucket. The Boom could fall and cause serious bodily injury or death. Always lower the boom and bucket flat on the ground or support the Boom and bucket on safety stands. Unload all hydraulic actuators prior to performing any maintenance. To do this, set the bucket on the ground then kill the tractor engine. Push and pull the control levers in and out several times to remove pressure. Do not work under raised Boom or Bucket unless components are securely blocked up to prevent inadvertent dropping.

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.
