PERSONAL SAFETY
Throughout this manual and on machine decals,
you will find precautionary statements
( “CAUTION”, ”WARNNG”, and “DANGER”) fol-
lowed by specific instructions. These specifica-
tions are intended for the personal safety of you
and those working with you. Please take the time
to read them.
The word “CAUTION” is used where a
safe behavioral practice according to
operating and maintenance instruc-
tions and common safety practices will
protect the operator and others from
accident involvement.
The word “WARNING” denotes a po-
tential or hidden hazard, which has a
potential for serious injury. It is used
to warn operators and others to exer-
cise every appropriate means to avoid
a surprise involvement with machinery.
The word “DANGER” denotes a for-
bidden practice in connection with a
serious hazard.
Failure to follow the “CAUTION”, “WARNING”,
and “DANGER” instructions may result in bodily
injury or death.
MACHINE SAFETY
Additional precautionary statements
(“ATTENTION”, and “IMPORTANT”) are followed
by specific instructions. These statements are
intended for machine safety.
ATTENTION
: The word “ATTENTION” is use to
warn the operator of potential machine damage if
a certain procedure is not follows.
IMPORTANT
: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of something he needs to
know to prevent minor machine damage if a cer-
tain procedure is not follows.
A careful operator is the best operator. Most ac-
cidents can be avoided by observing certain pre-
cautions. Read and take the following precau-
tions before operating this tractor to help prevent
accidents. Equipment should be operated only by
those who are responsible and instructed to do
so.
SAFETY AND THE TRACTOR
1. Read the Operator’s Manual carefully be-
fore using the tractor. Lack of operating
knowledge can lead to accidents.
2. Use an approved Roll bar and Seat Belt for
safe operation. Overturning a tractor with-
out a roll bar can result in death or injury. If
your tractor is not equipped with a rollbar
and seat belt, see your SHIBAURA Tractor
Dealer.
3. Use the handholds and step plates when
getting on and off the tractor to prevent
falls. Keep steps and platform cleared of
mud and debris.
4. Do not permit anyone but the operator to
ride on the tractor. There is no safe place
for extra riders.
5. Keep all safety decals clean of dirt and
grime, and replace all missing, illegible, or
damaged safety decals. See the list of de-
cals in the Decal section of this manual.
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
1. The cooling system operates under pres-
sure, which is controlled by the radiator cap.
It is dangerous to remove the cap while
system is hot. Always turn cap slowly to the
first stop and allow the pressure to escape
before removing the cap entirely.
2. Do not smoke while refueling the tractor.
Keep any type of open flame away. Wait for
engine to cool before refueling.
