Safety Precautions

Neutral Start System
● For your safety a Neutral Start Switch is fitted
in the Forward/Reverse Shuttle circuits which
prevents unintentional tractor movement
when starting the tractor engine. The engine
should only start when the lever is in
NEUTRAL.
● Make sure the Neutral Start System is
operating properly by doing the following
checks, in a clear open area, with no other
persons or objects near the tractor:
While sitting in the operators seat, with the
engine not running, place the shuttle lever
into FORWARD. Attempt to start the engine.
The engine should not start.
Repeat procedure for REVERSE lever
position. The engine should not start. If the
engine starts, see your Dealer for repair.
Operator Presence System
● For your safety an Operator Presence Safety
Switch is fitted in the Forward/Reverse
Shuttle circuits. This is activated by the
operator sitting on the seat as follows:
1.With the operator sitting on the seat (switch
closed) and the TRACTOR MOVING; if the
operator gets off the seat, the tractor will
continue moving, but the tractor will stop if the
shuttle lever is moved to a new position.
2.If the operator IS NOT sitting on the seat (switch
open); the Forward/Reverse Shuttle circuits
will not function and the tractor will not drive
when the shuttle lever is moved from neutral/
park to either forward or reverse direction.
3.If the rear PTO is engaged and the operator
gets out of the seat for more than 2 seconds,
an audible alarm will sound for 7 seconds.
Leaving The Tractor
● When leaving the tractor, ensure that it will not
roll away. Put the Forward/Reverse shuttle
lever in Park (as applicable), apply the park
brake, install a wheel wedge (as applicable)
and stop the engine.

● Remove the main switch key and lock the
operator’s cab.
● Never leave the tractor unattended as long as
the engine is still running.
● Never leave the operator’s cab when driving.
● Lower implement or equipment to the ground
before leaving the tractor.
Implements
● ALWAYS read and comply with the implement
manufacturers operators manual before
attaching and using any implement.
● Attach implements and trailers to the tractor
only using the prescribed drawbars or hitches.
Rear upset can result if pulling from wrong
location on tractor. The three point hitch must
only be used with the implements designed for
its use, not as a drawbar.
● Take particular care when attaching trailers or
implements. The operating, steering and
braking behavior will be affected by attaching
implements, trailers and ballast weights.
Therefore ensure adequate steering and
braking power.
● Prevent trailer and implement from rolling away.
● Operate tractor only when all guards are fitted
and in their correct position.
WARNING: ONLY operate the tractor
when sitting on the seat. DO NOT try to
bypass the OPERATOR PRESENCE
SAFETY SWITCH, for example, by putting
heavy objects on the seat. This can result
in serious injury or death.
If you try to bypass the safety switch wiring,
after a set period of time, the tractor will
shut down and not operate.
