The operation
of any tractor can
result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating
your tractor or performing
any
adjustments
or repairs.
We recommend
a wide vision safety mask
over spectacles
or standard
safety glasses.

of grass and types of grass being
mowed.
