Operator's Manual and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the Excavator tractor

equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Power equipment with or without equipment attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent,
partial hearing 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 hearing
loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total
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 stones, branches or hidden obstacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing
injury or damage.
5. Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
