SAFETY
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service and operate this
machine. Know the positions and operation of all controls before you try to operate. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK
ALL CONTROLS IN A SAFE AREA BEFORE STARTING YOUR WORK.
READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY and make sure you understand the controls. All equipment has limits. Make
sure you understand the speed, brakes, steering stability and load characteristics of this machine before you start
to operate.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, insurance needs, federal, state and
local laws. Make sure your machine has the correct equipment needed by the local laws and regulations.
Case Corporation is continuing to work for your safety by making tractors with better protection and by providing
these rules for safe operation.
● Before starting the engine, be sure all operating controls are in neutral or park lock position. This will eliminate
accidental movement of the machine or start up of power driven equipment. R106E
● Operate controls only when seated in the operators seat. R137A
● Securely fasten your seat belt. Your machine is equipped with a ROPS cab, ROPS canopy or ROPS frame for
your protection. The seat belt can help insure your safety if it is used and maintained. Never wear a seat belt
loosely or with slack in the belt system. Never wear the belt in a twisted condition or pinched between the seat
structural members. Inspect seat belt webbing, buckle and retractors to ensure they are not damaged. If
damage is apparent, repair before operating the tractor. M437A
● A frequent cause of personal injury or death is persons falling off and being run over. Do not permit others to
ride. Only one person - the operator - should be on the machine when it is in operation unless operator training
is being conducted. Trainer and trainee must fasten seat belts at all times. R115C
● Before leaving the tractor, stop the engine, put all controls in neutral or park lock position, remove the key from
the key switch. R301B
● Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation. Shift down before you start up or down a hill with a heavy load.
Avoid “free wheeling”. R123A
● Do not drive on roads, or at high speed anywhere, with the differential lock engaged. Difficult steering will occur
and can result in an accident. In field operation, use the differential lock for traction improvement, but release
for turning at row ends. R116A
● Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes,
and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces. R109B
