shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for
protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the

hearing loss.
protection if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe
hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an
extended period of time will cause permanent or 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.

Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets
and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good
condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the safe
transport speeds for you and the equipment.
by the following rules:
1. Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.
Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics
of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the
Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum
safe transport speed for you and this Equipment.
2. Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed
through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate at
a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed when
turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning
over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you and this
equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.
3. Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you
have determined are safe and which allow you to properly control
the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with
weak or faulty brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain
slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and
reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor's
flashing warning lights and reduce your speed.
