Watch out for Others
● Be aware of what is going on. DO NOT allow an
untrained or unqualified person to operate your
tractor. They could injure themselves or someone
else.
WARNING: Your tractor is a one-person
machine. DO NOT permit others to ride on
the tractor or the implement (see Fig. 16). In
some territories a passenger seat must be fitted to
carry passengers. DO NOT allow anyone to ride on
the implements or other equipment including trailers,
except on certain harvesting equipment, specifically
designed for riders during the actual harvest
operation only (not during transport). Such
equipment must have provision for a safe riding area.
DO NOT allow children on the tractor.
●
Be certain you can control both speed and direction
before moving. Move slowly until you are sure that
everything is operating properly. After starting,
recheck the steering, right and left. Be certain you
have full steering and brake control. If differential is
locked, DO NOT operate at high speed or turn the
tractor until the differential lock is disengaged.
●
DO NOT lift a load over anyone.
● Keep others away from your operation. DO NOT
allow anyone to stand or pass under a raised
implement (Fig. 17).
●
DO NOT lift objects that can not be contained in the
bucket, get the appropriate attachment. DO NOT
allow anyone to stand on the ROPS or fenders.
● When using a loader, avoid sudden stops, starts,
turns, or change of direction. Keep loads close to the
ground when transporting.
●
DO NOT stand (or allow anyone else to stand) in front
of, under, or behind loaded or loading equipment.
DO
NOT drive a tractor up to someone standing in front
of a fixed object.
● Keep others away from universal joints, hitches,
drawbar, lift arms, PTO drives, cylinders, belts,
pulleys, and other moving parts. Keep all shields and
guards in place.
WARNING: DO NOT stand, or allow anyone
else to stand, between the tractor and
implement unless the engine is turned off
and the parking brake is engaged, the transmission is
in neutral, the key is removed, and all attachments or
implements are lowered to the ground.
Risk of Overturning
For your safety, it is strongly recommended that all
footstep tractors are fitted with Roll Over Protective
Structures (ROPS) and seat belts (Fig. 18).
In the event of an overturn with a tractor fitted with a cab
or
ROPS, hold the steering wheel firmly and DO NOT
attempt to leave the seat until the tractor has come to
rest. If the doors of the cab are obstructed, leave through
the rear window or the roof hatch.

To Avoid Side Overturns
● Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable for
the job being done.
● Lock the brake pedals together before driving at
transport speeds.
● Reduce speed to match operating conditions. If the
tractor is equipped with a front-end loader, carry the
bucket and load as low as possible.
● Make wide slow turns at reduced speed. Don't let
your tractor bounce. You may lose steering control.
● Don't pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could
run away on the down slope or the tractor could jack-
knife around a towed load.
● Don't brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and
gradually.
