SAFETY
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain
precautions. To help prevent accidents, read the following precautions before operating this equipment.
Equipment should be operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so.
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators. It is important that all operators
be familiar with and follow safety precautions.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read the Operator's Manual carefully
before using the tractor. Lack of operating
knowledge can lead to accidents.
2. Use an approved roll bar for safe
operation. Overturning a tractor without a
roll bar can result in death or injury. If
your tractor is not equipped with a roll
bar, see your SHIBAURA 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
decals in the decal section of this manual.
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
1. The cooling system operates under
pressure which is controlled by the
radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove
the cap while the system is hot. Always
turn the cap slowly to the first stop and
allow pressure to escape before removing
the cap entirely.
2. Keep any type of open flame away from
the tractor and do not smoke while
refueling. Wait for the engine to cool
before refueling.
3. Keep the tractor and equipment, particularly
brakes and steering, maintained in a reliable
and satisfactory condition to ensure your
safety and comply with legal requirements.
4. Keep open flame or cold weather starting
aids away from the battery to prevent
fires or explosions. Use jumper cables
according to instructions to prevent
sparks which could cause explosion.
5. Stop the engine before performing any
service on the tractor.
6. Escaping hydraulic/diesel fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. If fluid is injected into the
skin, obtain medical attention immediately
or gangrene may result.
• DO NOT use your hand to check for
leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or
paper to search for leaks.
• Stop the engine and relieve pressure
before connecting or disconnecting
lines.
• Tighten all connections before starting
the engine or pressurizing lines.
7. Do not modify or permit anyone else to
modify or alter this tractor or any of its
components or functions without first
consulting a SHIBAURA Dealer.
