2�5 Preparation - Wallenstein WX510 Operator's Manual

2.5 PREPARATION
1� Never operate the tractor and machine until
you have read and completely understand this
manual, the Tractor and engine Operator's
Manual, and each of the Safety Messages
found on the safety signs on the tractor, en-
gine and machine�
2� Personal protection equipment including hard
hat, safety glass-
es, safety shoes,
and gloves are
recommended
during assembly,
installation, op-
eration, adjust-
ment, maintain-
ing, repairing,
removal, or
moving the implement� Do not allow long hair,
loose fitting clothing or jewellery to be around
equipment�
3� PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Tractors with or without equipment attached
can often be noisy enough
to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss� We recommend
that you wear hearing protec-
tion on a full-time basis if the
noise in the Operator's posi-
tion exceeds 80db� Noise
over 85db on a long-term basis can cause se-
vere 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�
