SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL
XXXIV
Handle starting fluid as directed
by the manufacturer. Starting
fluid must only be used when an
ether-start aid is fitted as original
equipment by the manufacturer
or when installed by a Dealer as
an accessory. In cases of
tractors being fitted with glow
plugs or thermostart, these must
be removed prior to the
installation of an ether start-aid.
Work Safely
Making the Right Moves
Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do.
Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never exceed them. Be
certain that any equipment or implements you intend to use DO NOT
exceed the load rating of your tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement
PTO speed match.
Keep in mind that tractors normally operate on uneven, unpaved, and
often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating conditions can reduce the
amount of weight you should carry or pull.
Follow Safe Operating Practices
–
Operate the controls smoothly - don’t jerk the steering wheel or other
controls.
–
DO NOT get on or off a moving tractor. Keep a firm grip on the steering
wheel at all times, with the thumbs clear of the spokes when driving
the tractor
WARNING: AN UNBALANCED TRACTOR COULD OVERTURN AND
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. MAKE SURE FRONT FRAME COUNTER-
WEIGHTS, WHEEL WEIGHTS AND WHEEL BALLAST ARE USED AS
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO NOT ADD EXTRA
COUNTERWEIGHTS TO COMPENSATE FOR AN OVERLOADED
TRACTOR, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO REDUCE THE LOAD. KEEP ALL
PARTS OF YOUR BODY INSIDE THE OPERATOR’S COMPARTMENT
WHILE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.
