• Do not park or attempt to service a tractor on an incline. If unavoidable, take extra care and block all wheels.
• Escaping hydraulic/diesel fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Do not use your
hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Stop the engine and relieve
the pressure before connecting or disconnecting oil lines. Tighten all connections before starting the engine or
pressurizing the lines. If fluid is injected into the skin, obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result
• Observe recommended precautions as indicated in this Repair Manual when dismantling the air conditioning
system as escaping refrigerant can cause frostbite. •
• Prior to removing wheels and tires from a tractor, check to determine whether additional ballast (liquid or weights)
has been added. Seek assistance and use suitable equipment to support the weight of the wheel assembly.
• When inflating tires beware of over inflation - constantly check the pressure. Overinflation can cause tires to
burst and result in personal injury.
• Continuous long term contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid prolonged contact with used
engine oil. Wash skin promptly with soap and water.
• Some components of your tractor, such as gaskets and friction surfaces (brake lining, clutch lining, etc.) may
contain asbestos. Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous to your health. You are therefore advised to have any
maintenance or repair operation on such components carried out by an authorized Ford New Holland Dealer.
If, however, service operations are to be undertaken on parts that contain asbestos, the essential precautions
listed below must be observed;
-Work out of doors or in a well ventilated area.
-Dust found on tractor or produced during work on the tractor should be dampened, placed in a sealed
container and marked to ensure safe disposal.
-If any cutting, drilling, etc., is attempted on materials containing asbestos, the items should be dampened
and only hand tools or low speed power tools used.
Safety precautions are very seldom the figment of someone's imagination. They are the result of sad experience,
where most likely someone has paid dearly through personal injury.
Heed these precautions and you will protect yourself accordingly. Disregard them and you may duplicate the sad
experience of others.
