●
Collision of high speed road traffic and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads,
use flasher lights according to local laws. Keep SMV emblem visible. Pull over to let faster traffic pass. Slow
down and signal before turning off. R110E
● Make sure that the weight of a trailed vehicle that is not equipped with brakes, NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of
the machine that is towing the vehicle. Stopping distance increases with increasing speed as the weight of the
towed load increases, especially on hills and slopes. R114B
● Extra weight and bad traction conditions such as mud or ice increase your stopping distance. Remember that
liquid in the tires, weights on the machine or wheels, tanks filled with fertilizer, herbicides or insecticides - all
these add weight and increase the distance you need in which to stop. R138B
● PTO driven machinery can cause serious injury. Before working on or near the PTO shaft, or servicing or
clearing the driven machine, put the PTO lever in the DISENGAGE position and STOP the engine. R154A
● Whenever a PTO driven machine is in operation, the PTO guard must be in place for most operations to prevent
injury to the operator or bystanders. Where attachments, such as pumps, are installed on the PTO shaft
(especially if the tractor PTO guard is moved upward or removed), extended shielding equivalent to the PTO
guard must be installed with the attachment. Install the PTO guard to its original position immediately when the
attachment is removed. R273A
● When doing stationary PTO work and dismounting from the tractor with the PTO running, keep clear of all
moving parts as they are a potential safety hazard. R127A
● When doing stationary PTO work, install the front and rear frame articulation block to prevent accidental
articulation of the tractor. Put the transmission control lever in the park position. R298B
● Never operate the engine in a closed building. Proper ventilation is required under all circumstances. R142A
● Never refuel the machine when the engine is hot or running. Never smoke while refueling. R139C
● Check and service cooling system according to the maintenance instructions. Hot coolant can spray out if the
deaeration tank cap is removed while system is hot. To remove the deaeration tank cap, let system cool, turn to
first notch, then wait until all pressure is released. Scalding can result from fast removal of the cap. R141C
● Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injury.
To Prevent Personal Injury:
Relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines.
Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good condition.
Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. If injured by leaking fluid, see your doctor immediately.
R149B
● Battery explosion and/or damage to electrical components can result from improper connection of booster
batteries or charger. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Externally, battery acid can cause
burns and blindness, and taken internally it is poisonous. R146B
● It is good practice to carry a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be sure that the extinguisher is properly
maintained and be familiar with its proper use. R102B
● Clean tractor of field trash daily or more frequently depending upon conditions. Trash accumulation on the
tractor can cause damage and fire. M791
