2.7 Specific safety instructions to use the tractor
2.7.1 General instructions
• Tractors and implements are not toys. Always comply with the conditions of use defined by the
manufacturers.
• Never bring a heat source close to the tractor.
• Never exceed the tractor total permissible weight.
• When using the tractor, always consider the fact that the centre of gravity of the tractor/implement
assembly changes according to the load being transported or towed.
• Check that the emergency exits open correctly.
• Check to ensure that the tractor is correctly balanced.
WARNING:
An unbalanced tractor could overturn and cause serious injury or death.
Ensure that front frame counterweights, wheel weights and wheel ballasts are used as
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not add extra counterweights to compensate
for an overloaded tractor; the load must be reduced instead.
• Check that the PTO output speed is in keeping with the implement PTO input speed.
• Keep all parts of your body inside the safety zone defined by the ROPS arch for platform tractors.
• Operate the controls smoothly — do not jerk the steering wheel or other controls.
• Always operate the controls from the operator's seat.
• Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at all times, with your thumbs clear of the spokes when driving
the tractor.
• Operate the tractor smoothly: avoid jerky turns, starts or stops.
• Do not turn at high speed.
• Avoid driving close to ditches and banks.
• Avoid taking slopes that are too steep.
• Reduce speed when negotiating turns and slopes and on rough, slippery or muddy surfaces.
• Carefully observe the areas surrounding the route.
• Never remain, or allow anyone else to remain, between the tractor and the towed or trailed vehicle
when the tractor is in use.
• Ensure you have adequate clearance in all directions for the tractor and the implement.
• When using chemicals, follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for use and storage carefully.
• Adapt the tractor speed according to visibility, weather conditions and the type of terrain.
WARNING:
If a part breaks, loosens or does not operate correctly:
• stop work
• Immobilise the tractor using the park brake or ParkLock
• switch o the engine
• check the machine and make the necessary adjustments and repairs before resuming
work.
DANGER:
Do not attempt to unplug the hydraulic connections or adjust an implement with the
engine running or the PTO in operation.
To do so may result in serious injury or death.
