2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design
and manufacture of our products.
Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator or bystander.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of this

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 ba-sis 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.
