SAFETY/SAFETY PANELS
LEAVING THE TRACTOR
● When leaving the tractor, always ensure that it is not able to roll away (apply parking brake, chock the
wheels).
● Remove the ignition key and lock the cab.
● Never leave the tractor unattended while the engine is running.
● Never leave the driver’s platform/cab while the tractor is in motion.
● Before exiting the tractor, lower the implement or attachment unit to the ground.
TRAILED EQUIPMENT
● When connecting up trailers or implements, exercise particular caution – and never step between tractor
and implement.
● Secure trailer and implements to prevent them from rolling away.
● Only start up the tractor once all guards are attached and are in their correct protective positions.
OPERATING THE P.T.O
● Before installing and removing the propshaft, always first switch off the engine.
● When operating the PTO, never allow anyone to stand near the rotating PTO shaft or drive shaft.
● Protective guards must be fitted over the input shaft and PTO stub shaft. Refer to Page 105.
● Implements with a high inertia torque do not stop immediately after the PTO shaft has been switched off.
Use propshafts with an overrun sprag unit. Before cleaning or carrying out adjustments, always wait until
the implement has finished working and has come to a complete stop.
● Immediately after removing the propshaft, cover the PTO shaft with a protective cap.
