13.Wear personal protective equipment such as, but not limited to, protection for eyes, ears, feet, hands and head when operating or repairing the equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may catch on equipment moving parts.

14.When performing adjustments or maintenance on the cutter, first lower it to the ground or block it securely at a workable height.

15.Never stand between tractor and cutter while tractor is being backed to the cutter hitch.

16.Reduce speed when transporting cutter to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering.

17.Use tractor flashing warning lights, day or night, when transporting cutter on road or highways unless prohibited by law.
