Ironcraftusa.com2.1 General Safety 6
WARNING
Do not assemble, operate, or maintain the unit until you read and understand the
information contained in this manual.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the unit. If these
hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other

SAFETY SIGNS AND LABELS
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new
piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. How-
ever, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought
and a more careful approach to handling the equipment.
Most work-related accidents are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An
accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident
occurs. As you assemble, operate, or maintain the rotary cutter (unit), you must be alert to potential
hazards. You should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or
maintenance procedures.
Improper operation and maintenance of this unit could result in a dangerous situation that could
cause injury or death.
If you have any questions not answered in this manual or require additional copies or the manual is
damaged, please contact your dealer or:

IronCraft cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The
warnings in this manual and on the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If a method of assembly,
operation, or maintenance not specically recommended by us is used, you must satisfy yourself
that it is safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that the unit will not be damaged or be
made unsafe by the methods that you choose. The information, specications, and illustrations in this
manual are based on the information that was available at the time this material was written and can
change at any time without notice.

Ironcraftusa.com2.4 General Safety Instruction 11
CAUTION
The following safety instructions are provided to help prevent potential injury. Not
following these instructions may lead to injury.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
When using this rotary cutter, wear appropriate personal protective equipment. This list
may include, but is not limited to:
• Protective shoes with slip-resistant soles
• Protective goggles, glasses, or a face shield
• Protective clothing and gloves
• Safety vest (when operating near roads)
• Hearing protection
HEARING LOSS
Prolonged exposure to loud noise may cause permanent hearing loss. Working
environments with noise-producing equipment can cause partial to permanent hearing
loss. We recommend using hearing protection anytime noise levels exceed 80 decibels
(dB). Noise levels over 85 dB, on a long-term basis, can cause severe hearing loss. Noise
levels over 90 dB over a period of time can cause permanent and even total hearing
loss. Hearing loss from loud noise is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural
recovery.
CRUSH HAZARD
The tractor should be equipped with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and a seat
belt. A crushing hazard may occur if the driver is ejected from the seat while the tractor is
in motion. Fasten the seat belt whenever the tractor is moving.
