2.22 Safety: Starting
Warn bystanders before starting:
Before starting, Walk all around the tractor and any
attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under it,
on it, or close to it. Let other workers and bystanders
know you are starting up and don't start until everyone
is clear of the tractor, implements and towed
equipment.
Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children are in
a safe position before starting the engine.
Mount and dismount properly:
Always use 'three point contact' with the machine,
and face the machine when you mount it. Three
point contact means both hands and one foot or one
hand and both feet are in contact with the machine
at all times during mounting and dismounting.
Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands
before climbing on. Use handrails, grip handrails,
ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or
dismounting.
NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and
NEVER step on foot controls when mounting or
dismounting.
NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving
tractor. NEVER jump off a tractor in any
circumstances.
Start safely.
WARNING : Before starting the engine, make
sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never
operate the engine in a closed building. The
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation (fig.2-9).
Always start the engine from the operator's seat with
all the transmission levers and PTO lever in neutral.
Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are
locked together at all times unless you are making
turns in the field which require independent use of
the brakes. Make sure the brakes are properly adjusted
so that both brakes engage at the same time.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (where applicable
as outlined in this manual), apply the parking brake
and put all controls in neutral before starting up.
DANGER : Start the engine, with the starter
key, from the operator's seat only. Never
attempt to start the engine by shorting across
the starter terminals. The machine will start in
gear if the neutral start circuit bypassed. This
could cause serious injury or death to anyone
near the tractor (fig. 2-10).
