3. PROLONGED EXPOSURETO LOUD NOISE MAYCAUSE PERMANENTHEARING LOSS!Tractors with or withoutequipment attached canoften be noisy enough tocause permanent, partialhearing loss. We recommend that you wearhearing protection on a full-time basis if thenoise in the Operator's position exceeds80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basiscan cause severe hearing loss. Noise over90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, totalhearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loudnoise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, andother such sources close to the ear) is cumu-lative over a lifetime without hope of naturalrecovery.
4. Operate the machine onlywith a tractor equipped withan approved Roll-Over-Protective Structure (ROPS).Always wear your seat belt.Serious injury or even deathcould result from falling offthe tractor ---particularlyduring a turnover when the operator could bepinned under the ROPS or the tractor.
5. Clear working area of stones, branches orhidden obstacles that might be hooked orsnagged, causing injury or damage.
