The following personal safety devices are always
necessary:
- Hearing protection.

WARNING: the tractor is not protected against
dangerous matters and emissions. If you are
working in an environment where there is a
danger of inhaling, ingesting or contacting
dangerous matters, the operator should wear
specific personal safety devices. [4.1.p][4.5.3]
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewellery or
other items and tie up long hair that could get
entangled in controls or moving parts.
A first aid kit should be available on any work site
(Fig.2-5).
WARNING: The tractor is designed and built to avoid
any fire risks during normal operation. Therefore, it
is not provided of a self-extinguishing system or a fire
extinguisher on board as a standard. The tractor is
anyway designed to install a 1 kg dust fire extinguisher
complying with UNI EN 3/7 2004 standard. The fire
extinguisher must be mounted in the reserved and
indicated position (Fig.2-4a & Fig.2-4b)
The fire extinguisher with its support can be bought
as a kit by our Dealers or authorized workshops. The
kit consists in a fire extinguisher, support, fastening
means, directions for its mounting and a decal to be
applied in the indicated area. The decal, when applied,
declares that the tractor may not be used if the ire
extinguisher is not in its place.
It is up to the owner of the farm or to the person
responsible for safety at the farm to judge the oppor-
tunity of using the tractor in areas at high fire risk.
They are also responsible for use of the tractor with
the extinguisher duly mounted.
