* Tractors should not be operated on highways without flashing lights and reflective SMV emblems. Any vehicle or machinery that operates at speeds less than 25 mph should have SMV emblems displayed on the rear of any machinery, even if being towed.
* Watch for greasy or oily steps when mounting tractor Clean shoes or boots before mounting the tractor. Never mount or dismount a tractor that is in gear, falling could result in run over. Use handrails
* When moving equipment, always check for low hanging power lines to prevent the possibility of electrocution.
* Watch for low hanging limbs that could hit the driver.
* Never touch the hydraulic line with your bare hand. If you suspect a leak use a piece of cardboard or some other material to check for a fluid leak. The fluid can "inject" into the skin and tissue if the line is pressurized when it is touched.
* When mowing be sure area is free of debris.
* Be aware of pinch points which are found where two parts run together and at least one is rotating. Pinch points can easily injure fingers, hands, arms, and feet.
* Always stop the engine before making repairs or removing clogs.
* Refuel with care. Find a secure position from which to refuel. Turn off the engine and Do NOT Smoke
* Before putting hands into equipment, disengage and turn off equipment.
