taining, repairing, removal, or moving the imple-
ment. Do not allow long hair, loose tting clothing
or jewelery to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Motors or equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hear-
ing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing
protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the
Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over
85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hear-
ing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator
over a long-term basis may cause permanent, to-
tal hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud
noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other
such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over
a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
4. Clear working area of debris, trash or hidden ob-
stacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing
injury, damage or tripping.
5. Operate only in daylight or good articial light.
