2.8. Diesel Fuel
1. To enhance the life of engine never use blended
mixture of fuel like-gasoline, alcohol etc.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine
running or in hot condition.
3. Do not smoke or allow an open ame near the fuel
tank or while refueling the tractor. Wait for the
engine to cool before refueling.
4. Do not ll the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
5. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
6. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
7. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with an
approved cap. A non-approved cap may not be
safe.
8. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
9. Do not drive equipment near open re.
10. Never use fuel for cleaning purpose.
12. Diesel fuel EN590:2014 must be used and sulphur
content above 10 PPM is not recommended.
13. Precaution should be taken to ensure that stored
fuel is kept free of dirt, water, etc.
CAUTION : The fuel oil in the injection system is
pressurized and can penetrate human skin with fatal
results. Adjustment of fuel injection equipment should
not be carried out by unqualied person.
2.9. ROPS
1. Farmtrac recommends the use of a Roll Over
Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in
almost all applications. This combination will
reduce the risk of serious injury or death, should
the tractor be upset. Check for overhead clearance
which may interfere with a ROPS.
2. Set parking brake and stop engine. Remove any
obstruction that may prevent raising or folding of
the ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders. Always
perform function from a stable position at the rear
of the tractor. Hold the top of the ROPS securely
when raising or folding. Make sure all pins are
installed and locked.
3. If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any
reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled
correctly before operating the tractor.
4. Never modify or repair any structural member of a
ROPS because welding, bending, drilling,
grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure.
5. If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged,
replace the entire structure at your local Farmtrac
Dealer / Distributor
6. If the tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS it
may be temporarily folded down only when
absolutely necessary for areas with height
constraints. (There is no operator protection
provided by the ROPS in the folded position. For
operator safety the ROPS should be placed in the
upright and locked position and the seat belt
fastened for all other operations.)
SAFE OPERATION
7. Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a ROPS.
Do not use the seat belt if a foldable ROPS is down
or there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly
and replace if frayed or damaged.
2.10. Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted
to machines and the work they do.
1. Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children
enter the work area.
4. Never carry children on your machine. There is no
safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and
be run over while running machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play with the machine or
the implement.
7. Use extra caution while reversing the tractor. Look
behind and down to make sure area is clear
before moving.
2.11. Operating on slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and
tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra caution.
1. Stay off slopes which are too steep for safe
operation.
2. Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or
up a steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to
be upset backward. Always back out of these
situations. Extra caution is required with 4-wheel
drive models because their increased traction can
give the operator false condence in the tractor's
ability to climb slopes.
3. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed, direction
or apply brake and make sudden motions of the
steering wheel.
4. Avoid disengaging the clutch or changing gears
speed when climbing or going down a slope. If on
a slope disengaging the clutch or changing gears
to neutral could cause loss of control over the
machine.
Note : Before cranking/starting of tractor, operator to
ensure cleaning of snow on front grill, side grill & air
lter in winter/cold condition.
