REGULAR USE
This is an agricultural tractor, whose function consists essentially in traction power. It is therefore specially designed to
push, pull, carry or operate some interchangeable implements for agricultural purpose, or to tow agricultural trailers.
This machine must be driven and operated by an operator suitably instructed, firmly seated and wearing a fastened seat
belt.
This machine is NOT designed:
- To be driven or operated standing or from outside the cab or the operator’s seat, or without a fastened seat belt.
- To lift persons.
- To transport persons, within or outside the cab or the operator’s seat, in any condition (work or road transport).
- To be used in hazardous atmosphere.
- To be used in forestry.
- To be equipped with front loaders if the tractor is not provided with a suitable structure to protect the operator’s seat
from falling and projected objects.
- For tractors equipped with collapsible safety frame, see specific instructions in the next pages.
More basic rules
- Keep the cab doors closed while the machine is being used.
- The machine must be used only by a skilled operator who knows perfectly controls and driving technique.
- Controls MUST be operated only from the operator’s seat. It is formally FORBIDDEN to operate ANY controls, in
particular hitch and power take-off controls, from outside the operator’s seat or standing outside the tractor.
WARNING: Improper use of the machine, specially on rough terrain or slopes, can make it tilt over. Pay
particular attention in case of rain, snow, ice or anyway on slippery ground. It may be necessary to step out of
the tractor to check personally ground quality. In the described conditions, always keep the load as close as
possible to the tractor and the ground.
WARNING: Do not try to get off the moving tractor, even if it is overturning, to avoid being crushed under it, but
remain seated with the well fastened seat belt and hold firmly the steering wheel.

used with the frame in upright (vertical) position.
