Safety instructions

Reduce speed before cornering to avoid overturning the
machine.
Avoid sudden turns when driving down slopes.
• Always leave the transmission in low gear to obtain
engine braking when driving downhill. Do not allow
the tractor to roll freely. Use the same gear for driving
downhill as you did when driving uphill.
• While driving, lower the loader as far as possible. Keep
in mind that the higher you raise the loader, the higher
the centre of gravity, and thus the risk of the tractor
overturning will increase.
Fig. 30 When cornering, lower the loader and reduce speed.
3.7.4. Machine stability
Do not work near the edge of ditches and banks as there
may be a danger of them collapsing.
The tractor must always be kept a distance from the edge
that is equal to or greater than the height of the bank or
ditch.
• Operate up and down (not across) slopes. Avoid sudden
starts and stops. Keep the loader as low as possible.
• Drive the tractor forward up slopes with an empty
bucket. Fill the bucket and then reverse slowly down
the slope.
Fig. 31 Keep at a distance when working near slopes.
Before leaving the operator's seat:
1. Lower the loader and implement to the ground.
2. Apply the park brake securely.
3. Move the gearshift to the neutral or park position.
4. Shut the engine off.
5. Remove the ignition key.
6. Move the control handle through all positions, then
return the control handle to the centre position in order
to relieve the hydraulic pressure.
Fig. 32 Lower the loader and remove the ignition key.
Joystick/Control lever: To prevent accidental operation of
the loader, lock the joystick in the neutral position.
