SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1--9
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Apply the parking brake, place the P.T.O. control
in the ‘OFF’ position, the lift control lever in the
down position, the remote control valve levers in
the neutral position and the transmission levers
in neutral before starting the tractor.
2. Do not start the engine or operate controls (other
than externally located hydraulic lift or P.T.O.
switches, if fitted) while standing beside the
tractor. Always sit in the tractor seat when
starting the engine or operating the controls.
3. Do not bypass the transmission and P.T.O.
neutral start switches. Consult your authorised
dealer if your neutral start controls malfunction.
Use jump leads only in the recommended
manner. Improper use can result in a tractor
runaway.
4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift levers
while the engine is running. Unexpected tractor
movement can result from such contact.
5. Do not get off the tractor while it is in motion.
6. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be
more difficult to control.
7. Before leaving the tractor, park the tractor on
level ground, apply the parking brake, lower
attached implements to the ground, disengage
the P.T.O. and stop the engine.
8. Do not park the tractor on a steep incline.
9. The cab is designed to provide the minimum
noise level at the operator’s ears and meets or
exceeds applicable standards in this respect.
However, noise (sound pressure level) in the
workplace can exceed 85 dB(A) when working
between buildings or in confined spaces, with
cab windows open. Therefore, it is
recommended that operators w ear suitable ear
protectors when operating in high noise level
conditions.
10. Do not run the tractor engine in an enclosed
building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust
fumes are toxic and can cause death.
11. Pull only from the pick-up hitch, swinging
drawbar or the lower link drawbar in the lowered
position. Use only a drawbar pin that locks in
place. Pulling from the tractor rear axle or any
point above the axle may cause the tractor to
overturn.
