2.23 Follow safe operating practices
• Operating the controls smoothly: don't jerk the steering wheel or other controls.
• DO NOT get on or off a moving tractor, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at all times, with the
thumbs clear the spokes when driving the tractor.
• Make sure you have adequate clearance in all directions for tractor, safety frame and implement.
• NEVER play games with a tractor or equipment.
• NEVER attempt to work the controls expect from the operator's seat.
• Before getting off the tractor, always disengage the PTO, lower all attachments and implements to
the ground, place the tractor in neutral, engage parking brake, shut off the engine and remove the
key.
DO NOT touch, lean on, or reach through any implement mechanism or permit others to do so. Stay
alert. Should something break, come loose, or fail to operate in your equipment, stop work, shut off the
engine, inspect the machine and have repairs or adjustments made before resuming operation.
2.24 Watch out for others
Be aware of what is going on. Never allow an untrained or unqualified
person to operate your tractor. They could injure themselves or someone
else.
WARNING: Your tractor is a one person machine. DO NOT permit others
to ride on the tractor or the implement (Fig. 2-10). In some countries a
passenger seat must be fitted to carry passengers. Never allow anyone to
ride on the implements or other equipment including trailers, except on
certain harvesting equipment, specially designed for riders during the
actual harvest operation only (not during transport). Such equipment must
have provision for a safe riding area. NEVER allow children on a tractor.
