PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Motors or equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
causepermanent, partial hear-
ing loss. We recommend that
youwear hearing protection on
a full-time basis if the noise in
theOperator'spositionexceeds
80 db. Noise over 85 db on a long-term basis
can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90
db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term
basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE:
Hearing loss from loud noise (from trac-
tors, 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
obstacles that might be hooked or snagged,
causing injury, damage or tripping.
5. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

are properly installed and in good condition.

for any loose bolts, worn parts, cracks, leaks,
loose chains and make necessary repairs. Al-
ways follow maintenance instructions.
