Getting ready to work with attachments
The C992 Holder tractor is designed to be used with a variety of attachments such as
l winter service equipment such as blowers, plows, and others
l cargo beds
l cultivating implements
l mowers
l street maintenance equipment such as sweepers, high-pressure washers, and others
An attachment must be approved by Holder to be used with the tractor. Approved attachments are
marked CE (picture?). Note, that if a front or rear loader cannot be attached to a 3-point lifting device
(?), it cannot be used with the C992 tractor. Contact Holder Tractor Inc. before using special
implements.
Warning: Failure to comply with the following guidelines could result in serious or fatal
injuries, and damage to the tractor.
Before procuring or mounting the equipment (what kind?), ensure that it is suitable for an attachment (?)
(weight, suspension, rotational speed, power requirements, traffic safety, etc.).
In general, to avoid any injuries and damage to the tractor and equipment while operating the tractor
with attachments:
l Do not allow anyone near the tractor while coupling the tractor with an attachment.
l Couple an attachment as specified in the manufacture's manual.
l Follow the manufacture's instruction on how to use an attachment.
l Raise attachments and secure them against lowering while driving on roads.
l Drive with a loader only with the lifting frame lowered.; otherwise there is risk of an accident due
to the tractor tipping over.
l Completely lower all raised attachments when parking the tractor and during work pauses.
l The tractor must be securely parked before attaching equipment.
l Do not lift or transport people using attachments.
l Do not allow anyone to stand near or under lifted loads.
l When attaching implements to the front and rear 3-point linkages, never exceed
o
permissible gross weight
o
permissible axle loads
o
tire load capacity
l Load the front axle of the tractor with at least 20% and the rear axle with at least 25% of the
tractor's curb weight.
l Wear personal protective equipment during assembly work.
