27. Never re-fuel the tractor while near any open flame
or while smoking.
28.
Do
not fill the fuel tank completely to the top
if
the
tractor is exposed to the sun for long periods of
time. Fuel will expand and over run. Wipe up any
spillage of fuel.
29.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times. Use a
dry chemical
or
C02
type extinguisher on fuel, oil
or
electrical fires.
30.
Before removing the radiator cap, relieve the pres-
sure in the cooling system by carefully turning the
cap to its' first position.
31.
Disconnect the battery ground cable before mak-
ing any adjustment on the engine
or
electrical
system.
32.
If
there is a need to charge the tractor's battery,
keep away from sparks and flames, as the battery
gives off a highly explosive hydrogen gas when
being charged. Never smoke around a charging
battery.
33.
Keep brakes properly adjusted.
34. Escaping hydraulic oil can have extremely high
pressure. A stream of oil can easily penetrate the
skin and cause blood poisoning. All connections
must be kept tight and all lines and pipes must be
in good condition. Be sure to relieve all hydraulic
pressure before disconnecting any line
or
pipe on
the tractor's hydraulic system.
35. Do not operate the tractor and attachments with
guards and shields removed. Keep them in place.
36. Set wheels as wide as practical for the job at hand.
A wider wheel tread gives the tractor better stabil-
ity.
37. Add front weights for pulling heavy drawbar loads
or
mounted implements.
38. Add rear weights for any front loader applications.
39. When preparing a calcium chloride solution for
liquid tire ballast, never pour water on the calcium
chloride. A chlorine gas is given off which is explo-
sive and can be hazardous to your health if inhaled.
This can be avoided by slowly adding the calcium
chloride flakes to water and stirring until dissolved.
40. Never run the tractor engine in an enclosed area
without proper ventilation.
41. Keep hands and loose clothing away from all
moving parts.
42. Always lower any implement which is attached to
the three point hitch
or
supported by a remote
hydraulic cylinder to the ground,
or
block it se-
curely at a workable height before inspecting,
adjusting, or performing any maintenance.
43. When parts need replacing, use only parts ap-
proved by LONG MFG. N.C., INC. Do not substi-
tute parts.
A CAUTION: Some drawings
in
this manual may show shields or cover
panels removed for the purposes of clarity. NEVER OPERATE the
tractor without ALL shields and cover panels
in
place!
Safety
Signs
The following Safety Signs will be found on your new
Long 2360 tractor, depending on the type you have.
Read each one carefully and follow it's instructions
closely. These signs should be kept clean and legible
at all times. A soft damp colth may be used to clean
these signs when they become unreadable from dirt
and other debris. If the signs are damaged, missing,
painted over,
or
otherwise not readable, they should be
replaced with new Safety Signs available from your
local Long dealer.

When components are replaced on the tractor during
repairs, all Safety Signs on those components must be
replaced with new signs. The Safety Signs are easily
attached by first cleaning the area where the sign is to
be placed. Remove the paper backing which covers
the adhesive back on the sign and apply it directly to the
surface.
NOTE: Spraying a light coat of water over the area
where the sign is to
be
placed, allows for repositioning
if a mistake is made. Once the Safety Sign is postioned
properly, wipe away the excess water and let
it
dry.
