GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELD
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with the following general instructions:
Before using the machine ensure that all safety precautions are taken.
Check that all safety protection and guards are in place and working.
Inspect the work site in order to familiarise yourself with the terrain.
Do not start the tractor before being properly seated in the driving position.
Do not starting the machine if it is damaged (or even if you only suspect it is
damaged) and inform your nearest dealer of the problem and ask for assistance.
Do not allow yourself to become distracted when working give your full attention to
the job in hand.
Maintain constant control over the tractor and ensure that you know how to stop
quickly and switch off the engine.
Caution when working on inclines. It is better to work from the bottom to the top of
an incline (or from the top to the bottom), rather than across an incline where there is
a risk of overturning. Check and heed the instructions supplied by the tractor
manufacturer, especially those concerning the maximum incline on which it is
possible to work.
It is advisable to reduce speed when working and manoeuvring on inclines and only
to change speed and direction gradually.
Do not make sudden stops or starts.
Do not work on wet or slippery grass or terrain, or anywhere where grip is poor. If
this is unavoidable, work at a slow speed so as to ensure operator safety.
Always switch off the tractor engine, apply the parking brake and remove the ignition
key whenever you have to attend to the machine to make adjustments or to remove
grass and other objects which might be entangled in the machine.
Do not use the control levers as handholds since they can move and do not give a
secure grip. Furthermore, any involuntary movement of a control lever can cause
unintentional movement of the tractor or machine.
